Another month, another day and another story. Over the past 4-5 weeks Strumble has produced more than it's fair share of marine wildlife especially the cetaceans. Starting with reports of several Rissos dolphins over a few days mixed in with our local porpoises, then we had a three day period where we spotted several Minke Whales and in the last two days we've had Common dolphin followed today by two Bottlenose heading east into the bay, no doubt part of the Cardigan Bay pod returning.
The porpoise were poor today with only a few brief sightings but seeing the Bottlenose more than made up for it. On returning to Goodwick I had a message from Lloyd and Holly who were at Pen Anglas saying that there were dolphins heading in toward the breakwater. Off I went then and discovered there were three this time. Two were the same ones that had passed Strumble earlier and one other individual. As they approached the two peeled off and headed north east leaving the individual to come all the way in. A few photos to confirm ID's and it was soon over as the individual too headed out. All in all a good day I'd say.
