I fish that area from time to time but have never seen a  similar 
occurrence although there have been large mackerel feeding right on the  surface. 
Also have not noted any kelp coming to the surface. The fins do  resemble those 
of trigger fish which are pelagic and have been seen here this  summer.

Hi  All;

I observed, and made a short video, of a mystery marine  gathering just 
offshore Paddy's Head, in Indian Harbour, St. Margaret's Bay,  on 5 October.  
The video is here:

_http://youtu.be/6l8NIkvoCM4_ (http://youtu.be/6l8NIkvoCM4) 

My best guess is that this  is some gathering of small fish, either 
feeding, or mating.  As noted  in the video description the wind was calm, the tide 
high and slack, and  there was little current.  I don't think these are the 
tops of waving  kelp, but rather the fins of fish.  Sculpins?  

Any and all  help appreciated.

Cheers,

Blake
