Would You Like The Fish Course Sir?

Hi Everyone,

The migratory salmon run is picking up a little in the Inner Moray Firth and this means that as the summer goes on, progressively more dolphins move into the area to hunt – what we call a “stratified movement”. In the photo below you can see Mischief throwing a huge salmon up into the air before swallowing it. I hope that I see him doing this many, many times throughout the season as a big dolphin like him takes a LOT of feeding to remain healthy.

I certainly wouldn’t like to pay for his “fish course” in a restaurant !

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
