It shows, what I assume is, a porpoise swimming up river from where the River Devon mets the River Forth. It was there for over half an hour before it swam back into the larger river and we lost site of it. Apparently it's very unusual for them to appear any further up the River than Grangemouth.<br /><br />We've taken pictures of seals here before, but this is the first time we've seen a porpoise. It appears here almost a year to the day that a baby porpoise was found dead much further along the Forth at Bridge of Allan [<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/6498531.stm">link to story</a>]. </p><p><a href="http://maps.live.com/?v=2&amp;sp=Point.tbm8nfgpc184_Position%20of%20Porpoise%20in%20River%20Devon_Position%20of%20Porpoise%20in%20River%20Devon.__&amp;encType=1">Link to map of area </a></p><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="left"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; moz-background-clip: initial; moz-background-origin: initial; moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311209089130323688-3869419920042910979?l=delphwyndpix.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Delphwyndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13022183124061097387noreply@blogger.com0
