Well, today could have been an almost copycat of two days ago, as it was almost identical to what Cliff reported. I arrived around 12.30 with the Tuesday survey team an hour into their two hour survey. Conditions were dead calm with a light variable breeze and a very weak tide race as we're on neap tides at present. They had seen a couple of porpoise but nothing out of the ordinary. After they departed I stayed on for a further hour and a half with sporadic distant porpoise sightings way too far out in the haze for any images. Something larger caught my eye and sure enough due north at about two miles a Minke whale surfaced twice before submerging again. About seven minutes later it rose again and after that was not seen again. No images I'm afraid but a very enjoyable session in the shade of the lookout on this stunning but very hot day.
