Bright with hazy cloud, big tide ENE wind.
Rising tide was against the wind making for a confused sea.
A brief porpoise sighting quite distant off the lookout at start of the watch, but the main action was towards Mackerel Rock with a swarm of Gannets diving in over feeding Common Dolphins. They slowly moved against the flow getting closer.The dolphins were obviously in a feeding frenzy with the Gannets almost feeding off the tips of the dolphins beaks! In the messy sea it was not easy to count the dolphins but a guestimate would be circa 30/40 animalsincluding several small calves, with a similar number of Gannets.
