Any signs of summer coming were firmly dispelled this morning, and as it turned out the weather was completely the opposite to what was forecast, but that's Pembrokeshire for you. The promised sunny morning was instead a mixture of fog and low cloud which did open out for a short period but left me hunched up with hands firmly in pockets waiting for any cetaceans that may come along. First to arrive was a single porpoise slowly working it's way against the tide allowing for some decent images. A shallow notch on the dorsal fin make it identifiable but perhaps not at distance. However, it's another for the catalogue if not in already. This one stuck around for a good 40 mins or so and it was a half hour or so later that a second porpoise showed briefly and just passed through going West with the tide. After that a couple of single Commons foraging before a few more arrived but only stayed a short while before moving on. At this point the sea mist started rolling in again and now feeling even colder I decided to make my way home for a warm up and a hot cuppa.

At one point I got buzzed by these three Malard six foot overhead before they turned and gave me these shots. |
