Up early for the dropping tide today and set up for a 08.15 start. A dozen or so Gannets off to the NW gave me hope of cetaceans underneath. Indeed there were and as the minutes passed they moved closer in. What followed was a steady stream of commons moving West to East surging and feeding as they went with some rounding the point and moving toward Fishguard Bay while the majority fed in the sweet spot in front of the lookout. As the tide dropped away the expected decline in action never materialised and even as I closed my session at around 10.30 there were still Commons visible all around the tide race from the lighthouse to Pen Caer Point. I must have seen well over a hundred for the session which is better than numbers seen by me over the past week or two. Sadly no porpoise seen but given the high numbers of Commons and with the tides still small I was not surprised at that.
