Frustration on Caldey!

 Somewhat frustrating views of cetaceans off Caldey Island yesterday and 

today (20th and 21st).

Around 10 animals both days I think. Yesterday to the West of St Margaret’s 
and this evening off the eastern end of Caldey.

A long way off through the scope but feeding for some time on both 
occasions.

Probably Porpoise but I kept thinking the fins were too long and hooked so 
perhaps Dolphin spp.

Nice to see and given I saw Porpoise a couple of weeks ago off Caldey 
perhaps a pod is regularly in this area.

Much closer clearer views this morning. A pod of 6-8 Bottlenose, some 
smaller animals presumably calves, some nice breaches

Regards,
John O’Sullivan
