Go Sundance!

At a wild and cold Chanonry Point yesterday I had the pleasure of watching two of our adopt a dolphin stars Kesslet and Sundance plus three other dolphins at work catching fish, mainly salmon but suddenly all five dolphins changed direction at incredible speed and went charging off into the distance – obviously in hot pursuit of something small and tasty like herring, which have been shoaling in the area for months. It was wonderful to see such a huge dolphin as Sundance sprinting at top speed and awesome to watch him crashing through the big waves with spray going everywhere.
