8 seals 4+2+2 at cap and ncc observed by TSM

18/12/07
Medics have today been monitoring a cetacean in our area (location witheld). The cetacean - species not yet confirmed was reported as having a dorsal fin the size of an adult Bottlenose Dolphin, movements were the same as a BND but the body was very small in proportion and it was very close to shore.

With light fading, a last directional heading was logged. Medics will carry out patrols tomorrow.

19/12/07

No signs early morning of our cetacean in the area it was first spotted - patrols will continue mid afternoon at another 2 locations

Nothing spotted mid afternoon either.......phew!

2 seals at JPF at 14.00hrs. Thanks to the member of the public for forwarding sightings to us.
