Mewslade to Ram Grove

Had a look off Thurba and nearby headlands this evening – in the hope that the earlier Risso’s dolphins might come by. Lots of porpoise activity off Thurba (as there had been off Tutt Head early afternoon) – with at least 4 animals present – but no Risso’s.
Otherwise, whimbrel, shag, and a family party of stonechats at Red Chamber, and the bird highlight, a lesser whitethroat in Ram Grove – full of testosterone and making aerial song flights and singing from an exposed perch more like a common whitethroat.

    How many Rissos. I have just completed a cetacean survey with Sea Trust Fishguard to Rosslare. We had 4 minke, 300+ common dolphin but no rissos

  2. Darren Coombs and Mark Hipkin had a sighting of 2+ animals off Kenfig River Mouth, last seen moving in the direction of Mumbles yesterday late am / around midday. See pic on Glam Rarities Committee website – on the Twitter feed.
