Yesterday I recieved a mail via Sea Trust from someone I've met on occasion at Strumble Head. The work we do there on Porpoise conservation is world leading and of international importance for the protection of the species. It's also our stated aim to educate not only local people but all who will take the time to show a little interest and I'm always willing and passionate about passing on knowledge aquired over many thousands of hours spent observing these wonderful creatures in one of the most beautiful locations on the british coast. This is particularly true when it comes to the children. They are the the ones who will inherit and carry on the fight against the continual pressures we as humans place on the natural world.
Often we don't know how or what effect this educating has on our visitors after they have gone so it's very rewarding and a source of pride when someone takes the time to write to you sharing their amazing experiences with our local marine wildlife. So I will share this with you all and say a big "Thank You" to Lorna and her family as this one act makes all I and the staff/volunteers at Sea Trust Wales do so worthwhile.
Great images of this magnificent Rissos Dolphin Lorna.
Dear Ken via Seatrust Wales,
I hope these pictures reach you - we've spoken to you a few times up at Strumble, and finally have some pictures to share! We took these today off the headland between Porthllysgi beach and Porthclais. I'm not sure how many we saw - probably at least 5 swimming in that stretch. We have other pics of dorsal fins too, but this chap was out to impress with a string of about 8 leaps one after the other in a straight line. We have four very delighted children who will now probably expect this on all coast path walks!
We love seein the updates on your blog and will say hi again next time we're at Strumble.
Lorna
