Porthcawl Porpoises

It has been a long poor summer for porpoises in the Porthcawl end of the Bristol Chanel. No porpoises seen since May despite doing one survey in good conditions every month - June July August and September. I even consulted local boat fishermen in case I was loosing my touch but they confirmed nothing seen. As I set out to my watch point this morning I bumped into 2 anglers so I asked them. Yes whiting beginning to show and 4 porps off the lighthouse on Saturday. After 59 minutes of my hour survey I was still blank when up popped 2 adults and a juvie. They are back!!
