A stunning morning at Strumble today with as near perfect conditions as I could possibly wish for. Calm waters, perfect visibility and thinly veiled sunshine. An 8am start and within minutes I spotted commons moving in from the NW with further scans showing more arriving from the East. These were quite distant but the clear conditions meant I could still get reasonable images of them. As the ebb flow got stronger more came in and some closer, with Porpoise starting to show as well. By this time, as you can imagine, I was more than happy. But then the icing on the cake. Scanning around I spotted the unmistakable fin of a Rissos dolphin, then another and another and eventually a total of five including a young animal. I tracked them in front of me for thirty minutes or so as they circled and constantly changed direction up until their final dive from which they just simply disappeared. It always amazes me when this happens as it's as if someone has flicked a switch and bang they're gone.
