Super pod of Porpoise spotted. 60 - 80 animals. This is quite unusual. Porpoise tend to stay in small family groups, but can join up to form bigger groups.
The Little Dab Chick that first appeared in Kyleakin Harbour in October 2009, is still there now. The Eider ducks that returned to Kyle in the Autumn 2009 are still in the area and no doubt getting ready for the breeding season, which usually involves a lot of squabbles between rival males over the various females.. Two red throated Divers hanging around the fork rocks for several weeks now. A number of red breasted mergansers also in the blind sound area, their favourite spot. |
