Russell describes what happened:

A Porpoise spotted circling in the River Dee next to Connahs Quay docks this afternoon, after 30 minutes I placed a call to the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP) hotline to advise them of an animal possibly in distress, they advised that it was most likely chasing fish and would depart later on the tide and due to the river width it would be pretty much impossible to coach it out back towards the sea.

The Coastguard then arrived to keep watch as the Porpoise continued to circle in the river however it was slowly edging back towards the sea as I left.
