In the absence of any local bird news just a short one tonight, but it does contain some mega cetacean news!
Thanks to a timely message from Phil last Wednesday, I saw my first ever patch Risso's Dolphins!
I arrived once they had swam east through most of the bay, and were well east of the harbour mouth still moving east, by the time I got there. Saying that though I had several views of one or two calves jumping completely clear of the water, and saw the huge dorsal fins and backs of the adult animals breaking the surface several times. There looked to be about half-a-dozen animals in the pod, but it was really hard to be sure with the views I had.
Hopefully they'll be back as I would love to see them again. Thank you Phil for the find, message and binocular use!
