    Did any see the porpoises on the North Beach in Skerries? I saw them yesterday evening between 5:30 & 6:00.

    The adult was jumping clear out of the water - nearly crashed the car when I saw it first! :o

    There appeared to be one, possibly two, adults and two pups. Swimming from Hoare Rock out along by Mourne View & back.

    Just wondering if they'd been around all weekend?

    Last week a number of us were fishing off the pier in Balbriggan and again saw the 4 porpoises that Hill Billy was referring to.

    They stayed around for about half an hour, entertaining alll present.

    It really was refreshing to see them.
