Another day shrouded in cloud but at least the winds were light and the seas calm. Word from the survey team was there were Tuna showing at Strumble. Ever hopeful then, I set out mid afternoon for the dropping tide. With the daylight shortening now I didn't know how long I'd have to be able to take photos.
I got a sight of three porpoise quite far out moving East and managed a few shots before they went out of range. When I got home I saw one was a marked animal so that was a bonus. Slightly later a group of Commons came down from the North into the distant early turbulence of the outer tide race. They circled there for a few minutes before heading SW past the lighthouse. They were very active and spent as much time above the water as in it. Lovely to see so many breaches. I did see Tuna, one surface turn over with large splash and another which was a full breach, but sadly too sporadic to capture in camera. Around 3.30pm the light faded away under the heavy cloud cover so I called it a day and left for home.
