Moray Firth Dolphin Sightings Update

My dolphin “season” is getting busier by the day as more of the regularly seen dolphins re-appear after the winter. Great news is that I have spotted two more of the Adopt a Dolphin stars, Rainbow and Moonlight, very recently plus Mischief and Sundance have been around the Inner Firth for a while now – as has Kesslet, who, as you can see is the life and soul of the party as usual !

Another bit of exciting new just in from Barbara from the Aberdeen University Lighthouse Field Station is that Spirit’s daughter Sparkle has a baby with her, likely born late last autumn so it looks as though Spirit (whom I haven’t spotted just yet) is a young Granny !
