From Phil Lees...

It seems a while since I last saw a porpoise, Strumble back in mid January, and a very long time seeing a Porthgain Porp.  But on Friday evening, with the lure of sunshine, a calm sea and chips from The Shed I spent half an hour at the Beacon before wandering off to watch the peregrines. Within minutes of arriving I spotted a couple of porps and they and others continued to forage directly off the harbour around 500m to a kilometre out, for the half hour I was there. At least 4 possibly 6 but difficult to say as they were fairly dispersed.
