There were many common dolphins. These moved  westwards, 

before lots of them moved eastwards, further out and accompanied 
by a number of gannets. Some were still around after 3:00, when the tidal 
race had moved close to shore. Four or five common dolphins passed from 
east to west in the race, giving good views, and three Risso's dolphins 
surfaced in the race a couple of times before disappearing. One of the 
Risso's showed itself well by leaping clear of the water a all three 
surfaced simultaneously. I saw at least two porpoise and possibly three or 
four, but I might have seen the same animals twice.
