The illusion of a small fin in the image may be caused by the animal bending its body and diving into the water after breathing at the water surface.   I'm happy to see you got a great photo as finless porpoise is shy and hardly seen. Although Po Toi is one of its range in HK water, they usually hang around there during summer.   Logged Favorite Photographer: Peter Parker, who takes pictures of Spider-man Michelle BBS Member BBS Newbie I love bird watching!     Posts: 1 Re: Po Toi Outing Report 12/3/06 蒲台觀鳥活動報告 « Reply #3 on: Mar 13th, 2006, 12:23pm » Quote Modify I think the species, "Finless Porpoise" has already been mentioned on the Trip Report under "Other than Birds".  Pls check again, thanks.

This one appears to be at least very dark grey to me, as all the ones I've seen in the field have, here in HK and in the Matzu islands ('Taiwan' held, off Fujian).   Maybe this discussion should take place on a cetaceans BBS!   Mike Turnbull Logged cywong BBS Member BBS God I am fascinated by birds!     Posts: 295 Re: Po Toi Outing Report 12/3/06 蒲台觀鳥活動報告 « Reply #6 on: Mar 14th, 2006, 8:57pm » Quote Modify Plus 1 Violet Whistling Thrush standing still.   EOS 20D ,  ISO 800, F/5.6, 1/45sec   « Last Edit: Mar 14th, 2006, 9:03pm by cywong » Logged Thank you for sharing the joy of bird-watching. cywong BBS Member BBS God I am fascinated by birds!     Posts: 295 Re: Po Toi Outing Report 12/3/06 蒲台觀鳥活動報告 « Reply #7 on: Mar 14th, 2006, 9:00pm » Quote Modify I would also like to share the image of the beautiful cuttlefish.   EOS 20D, ISO200, F/5.6, 1/350sec   Thanks to the outing leaders.
