Porthcawl Porpoise Annual Sumary

I have continued my cetacean surveys at Porthcawl this year completing one each month in good conditions. The porpoise are usually a long way out so the survey is a telescope job. The results end up in Sewbrec, the South East Wales Biodiversity Records Centre. The results this year are: Jan 0 Feb 0 Mar 3 Apr 2 May 1 Jun 0 Jul 0 Aug 1 (a casual sighting in 50 mph winds while birding) Sep 4 Oct 2 Nov 2 Dec 1 While common dolphins have occasionally been seen there were no records this year.o

Nice one Steve and a great effort, Just goes to show how lucky we are here in the wild west!
