Breakwater Bottles 22/05/2022

 Another session with our cute little calf and it's mother plus her other companion. Not sure what the relationship is between the two, possibly an older sibling of the calf that's not yet felt the need to go it's own way or maybe a sister of the calf's mother, who knows. I've mostly concentrated on the calf today but a late incident just before packing up added a touch of excitement to my day. The three had moved away from the end of the breakwater in the direction of  Pen Anglas and I thought they were on their way out. However, they obviously came accross a quick meal given away by the swirls and splashes as they chased their prey. So imagine this. You're a healthy mullet swiming along minding your own business having spent the last couple of years slowly growing and enjoying the shelter of Fishguard Harbour. It's a good day and all is well. But then in a split second you become a flying fish in the vice like grip of a dolphin and the lights go out. Not good for you but it made for a super set of images so you have my grateful thanks. Isn't nature wonderful but cruel all in the same instant. See the last three images.
