Ian Hotchin sails again, Dolphins in the Bay!

We had a call from master mariner Ian Hotchin, out on his yacht in Fishguard Bay this afternoon.Ian told us there were around 25 Common Dolphins around his vessel.seemingly feeding.

 I went out on the green breakwater a bit later. I could see Ian a mile or so in his junk rigged yacht, out to the north. Also a lot of gannets just off Pen Anglas to the west, The water was quite choppy outside the shelter of the bay and I was unable to make out any Dolphins, but presumed they were beneath the Gannets, so went back to the Ocean Lab.

A little while later, a chap came up to the desk and told me he had seen some dolphins in the harbour from the central breakwater! maybe the pod had split and i missed the ones in the harbour!
