Brixham

I waited for the trawlers to come in this evening - unfortunately most of then came in dusk, I did get either a near adult Iceland Gull or the Kumlien's Gull in the distance on two occasions but it didn't appear to follow the trawler in to the harbour area.

A Bottle-nosed Dolphin with a damaged dorsal fin and a very tiny young dolphin with it (if I had seen the small animal first I would have identified it as a Harbour Porpoise as it appeared to have a very short triangular dorsal fin - but both animals were swimming side by side).
