Harbour porpoises

I spotted a group of harbour porpoises close to Scarborough harbour on Friday 4 April at about 6.30pm. Some came in to within maybe 20 metres of the harbour wall, so I got some very nice views of their dorsal fins.  Definitely 6 (2 groups of 3) , but probably rather more than that, but I could only count them when they were breaching at the same time …. they seemed to head off towards North Bay.
