Another day out in the boat and a fair bit of traveling up and down the coast from Nothe Point down to Church Ope Cove and then back to Portland Harbour.
Just 2 fish caught a Mackerel and a Coalfish. The Mackerel were really plentiful last week, but numbers have really dropped off this week.
A few birds about with Cormorant, Shag, 3 Oystercatcher, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull and 2 Rock Pipit seen.
It wasn't just birds seen but also Large White, Small White and a Red Admiral seen heading towards Portland from a North-easterly direction.
Just the one Barrel Jellyfish seen around The Hood.
Here are a few images from today.
