Return to Ramsey Sound

Since lock-down ended, Sea Trust has been slowly rebuilding our Peoples Porpoise Project with Holly building in the necessary  health and safety /distancing aspects so she could get her team of volunteers back on surveys. Remarkable we now have six out of seven days covered by Holly's teams. She has recruited several new volunteers and trained up two new team leaders  Hannah WJ for Saturdays , Mair E for Sunday's team with Fran E continuing to lead Mondays team.

Firstly Strumble came on line, followed by Pen Anglais. A communication break down with our friends at Treginnis City Children's farm, a crucial partner in terms of them allowing our volunteers to be able to park an at the farm and access  Ramsey Sound  survey site needed resolving so Fran and I took advantage of today's good weather and popped down to Treginnis and met up with the guys at Treginnis, Dan and James.

Happily on meeting up, they were very supportive, They were on Furlough and therefore not manning the phone etc.  They were both happy for us to continue using the farm to access the Ramsey Sound site. As such, Fran and I  popped down to the sound and found the porpoises at the southern end of Ramsey Sound. I managed to get a couple of record shots of animals among the overfalls of the dropping tide.even in lots of glare.

At about 14 hundred hours, Fran noticed some making their way north  back up  the Sound, We got back to the Copper Mine in time to catch them heading past the Bitches getting a few more shots.! A great day out. Pic's not up to much with my small camera but I enjoyed trying to get record shots!
