I've had a few sessions over the past week and sightings have been a bit shetchy to say the least, so this blog entry has various images covering the past five days. The sightings have been a mixed bag of Commons, Porpoise and a few Rissos. With rougher conditions and poor to fair conditions sightings have been difficult and it seems to affect the cetaceans as well, with very many one surface and gone encounters. Case in point was seeing as many as nine Rissos and not getting a single shot on camera.
Bird flu as with Covid could sadly still be around as can be seen in one of the below images of a dead Black Backed gull floating by, with several Herring Gulls trying to get their piece of it. You can see how easily it could spread the virus depending on how long the bird was deceased.
Today though 10th Sept we had an excellent session in rough conditions with Commons, Porpoise and Rissos, seen earlier by the birders in the lookout. The porpoise were pretending to be dolphins at one stage with several full breaches over our two hour watch. Although the forecast is patchy this week I still hope to get some more sessions in and always hope for some more Rissos encounters.
