More Strumble Risso's

Sea Trust accountant Stephen Davies and his wife Tina were at Strumble yesterday evening and were lucky enough to see a pod of four  Risso's Dolphins close enough to hear them blow! see Stephens report below!It seems that this has been happening at least since Sunday when Adrian Rogers reported seeing them!

Hi Cliff

Tuesday 2nd June 19:50 to 20:20

Two groups of Risso’s, 4 or 5 (in each group) very close in under the Strumble lookout. So close in fact we could hear them blowing from where we stood in the car parking area as they surfaced.

We managed to watch them for half an hour as they moved in an Easterly direction. Several breaches later they disappeared  from view approximately a mile off mackerel rock at a point  taking a bearing from mackerel rock to Cardigan island. No sign of them after that

See you soon
