Strumble Head in Pembrokeshire is at the opposite side of Cardigan Bay to the Llyn peninsula. It can be a great seawatching place and in the past I've seen my only UK Balearic shearwaters here as well as a decent selection of other sea birds. It's also pretty good for dolphins and today I saw a single common dolphin and about three harbour porpoise. Of particular interest, one of the porpoise was tail slapping as it swam through the water. Dolphins and porpoise do this to stun fish in order to make them easier prey.
