Signs Of Life…

By Charlie Phillips | 14th November 2012

Hi Everyone,

I’m really pleased to say that there have been some recent dolphin sightings in and around the Inner Firth, my pal Alan spotted two dolphins (possibly Kesslet and Charlie) passing Chanonry Point last week, there have been a group of dolphins up north near Portmahomack and we had three dolphins hunting in the Kessock Channel on Monday. I didn’t see the dolphins myself but a villager that I trust gave me the information.

I’m going to be out and about quite a lot now that I’m back from my holidays and hope to catch some dolphins on camera like these ones in the photo above. Fingers crossed for some good weather and reasonable light for photos.

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
