Harbour Porpoise. 20-9-08
Harbour Porpoise are a daily sighting at the moment in Gills Bay where the numbers have improved.
They can also bee seen Daily in Thurso Bay and in smaller numbers off Lybster.
The Lybster Porpoise seem to prefer a falling tide, but are quite close to the shore if you go to the cliffs to the North of Lybster rather than the Swiney Hill Viewpoint.
