Moving off the neap tides onto bigger tides as the moon phase changes, I was hopeful of some decent porpoise action at Strumble this morning. I was ahead of the formation of the inner tide race so set up and waited patiently. When the tide race did start running a group of 8-10 porpoise came in together from the NW and started moving up the tide. Still a half mile out they must have encountered a shoal of fish as they suddenly started darting here and there and seemed to be feeding well. Sadly (for me) they stuck with that shoal and as it moved west with the tide so did they. So they never made it up in front of the lookout and I only managed a few distant images. Better luck next time perhaps. I handed over to Cliff as I left so I wonder if he fared any better than I did.
