Strumble Diary 20/12/2019

It was a fine day and I managed to grab a few hours away from the Christmas madness. tide times were good and I got out there before the tide race formed. As it did so several porpoise came in to forage but the sightings were brief. They stayed around for about half an hour or so with about twelve animals in total. The action died away but I hung on for a while. I sighted some twelve to 16 Rissos 3-4 miles out moving toward the west and tracked them for a while. Lloyd then spotted two or three closer in but still beyond the tide race and just in camera range. The avian highlight was a passing Peregrine Falcon in the bright sunlight. Not the best of shots of it as I was set up for shooting cetaceans not birds in flight.
