17/06/26. Breakwater Bottles today!
The tide wasjust emptying out of Fishguard Harbour ,so Stevo and self decided to have a look to see if the bottles were around. A circling gannet gave the game away with what looked like 3/4 showing briefly off the campsite on the opposite side of the bay. The veteran Paddle steamer "The Waverly" decided to make its way into the harbour. Soon after the dolphins raced in to bow ride her for a moment before dissappearing in her wake.
Not long after a single bottle'arrived just in front of us, about 100 metres away. It surfaced a few times getting closer before heading out towards the harbour enterence where i then spotted the first small group. . Sadly we had to go so not sure if it joined them or not.
Later at Strumble we hung about for an hour but saw nothing cetacean wise although a couple of miles out tothe east there was several (20+) Gannets feeding although it was too far away a bit misty and gnarly to makeout if there wer porp'sor more likely Common Dolphins beneath them. Sadly no camera with us but heres a similar view of one i took some time ago...
