Title says it all. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

I was crossing the Liffey at the IFSC House Bridge today at lunchtime and the were mackerel(!!!!) breaking the surface below. I watched them for a minute or so before they headed down river towards the port.

I'm VERY confident they were mackerel. I thought initially they were small mullet but they weren't.

This isn't common at all is it?
