Cetacean watching Anglesey

I had one of my best ever cetacean experiences today. I watched a pod of about 10 Bottle-nosed Dolphins quite close inshore and through my telescope. There were at least a couple of youngsters in the pod, and they continually leaped clear of the water. The adults were less inclined to leap out of the water, but when they did, they were even more spectacular, and on several occasions they twisted right over as they breached. I watched them for about 10 minutes as they headed west along the coast. Also with them, at least 1 Harbour Porpoise.


I also found two Black Redstarts today. Unfortunately not as confiding as the Snow Bunting yesterday, but at least I got a couple of photos.
