Hi Cliff,
Ruth & I had a short but productive visit this afternoon (1/12/19) in beautiful, if cold, conditions.
Arriving at 2:00 I picked out a single porpoise straight out in front and then a few minutes later Ruth picked up several animals out beyond the lighthouse. When I got on them we were able to identify 3, possibly 4, Risso’s Dolphins - 2-3 large adults and one markedly smaller individual . We watched them feeding for about 15 minutes after which we lost them but within a couple of minutes we watched 4 porpoise approaching who began feeding in the same area. Given their proximity it appears these porpoise are not intimidated by Rissos as they would be by BND?
