Porpoises count!

Forget about the 30 bottlenose dolphins jumping between dolphin watch boats just 2 miles off Meia praia. Last friday I took my first harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) picture and it was exciting. No, not frustrating, E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G!!!! 3 individuals, with no heading, shy as usual, out 2 times (maybe 3) and then, gone. I promise better pictures next time. And where did common dolphins go? Not one sighting. My personal information sources said something about "no sardines" on local seiners catches.
