Another day, another gale but still they come. Porpoises that is. Yes, our little porpoises have to feed no matter what the weather. Each has to consume 2-2.5Kg of fish a day to stay healthy whilst doing so in as energy efficient manner as possible. To achieve this they use the tide race to bring their food to them and as it speeds along they pick off the passing prey. With four tides a day this is what makes Strumble Hd restaurant central for our hungry little friends.
Not so many as yesterday but enough for me to be able to capture some pics before they got swept out west with the ebb tide. I've included a short video of the conditions for you to see the sort of seas they have to battle through to go get dinner.
