Holly, Mair and Fran set up at the old copper mine opposite the Bitches with the sun beating down and the flood flow still strong passing left to right. Things were very slow at the start and it was some 45 minutes into the survey before the first lone porpoise appeared some one hundred metres or so away in the middle of the sound.
We had to wait another 15 minutes or so for the next sighting and from then on we were kept on our toes as several porpoise moved through feeding as they went. One, a marked animal was present throughout the session appearing in quite a few of the images.
One of our last sightings was of a mother and calf coming down with the tide and although only a brief sighting I did manage a couple of shots but sadly we didn't see them again.
Holly has taken to learning seal speak off Rob Havard and is now quite skilled at calling in the seals. However, this one seemed quite puzzled. It must be her accent.
Finally, I couldnt resist capturing the local scenery as it looked magnificent in the hazy sunshine and I always think the south end of Ramsey is quite majestic and magical anyway. These show the southern tip of the island and Ynys Eilun at the south end of the sound.
