Come on Dolphins – Stop Hiding !

By Charlie Phillips | 25th January 2013

Hi Everyone,

The photo below was taken exactly one year ago today – it is of Kesslet and Charlie hunting for herring in the Kessock Channel in very silvery light.

Unfortunately our dolphins seem to be far out to sea at the moment and not nearly as visible as they were at this time last year although I did see two adult dolphins near the entrance to the Cromarty Firth recently. Come on Dolphins…stop hiding from your Uncle Charlie !

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
