Apologies for cross-posting

I wonder if anyone has been tagging porpoises recently in NW Europe using a tag of the following description passed to us by a fisherman in UK coastal waters from last month:

"The tag was like a lollipop, the lolly part being a circular orange/vermilion disc, about the diameter of a cricket ball, the end of the "stick" was attached on the left side leading edge of the dorsal fin, very obvious and visible. The porpoise was on its own which is unusual in this area, particularly with all the sprat and herring about just now."

If you let us know, we can provide further details.

regards,
Peter Evans
