An overcast morning on the dropping tide with the wind moderate from the SW. A good amount of swell pushing against the tide made for quite lumpy conditions out in the tide race. I saw five Porpoise in total all distant and within the first twenty minutes or so of my survey. I think they were keeping well out due to the numbers of Common Dolphin that were feeding closer in. I surveyed from 10.15 until 12.30pm and for all that time there were Commons visible over the area from the Lighthouse to Pen Caer point. Mostly well scattered but at one time a very tight pod passed East to West consisting of twenty or so animals. I would guess at between 120-140 commons in total for the session. The action was still going on as I left but not so many animals at that point.
