Welcome Back Rainbow and Moonlight

By Charlie Phillips | 27th May 2016

Although being very cold and grey up here in the Inner Moray Firth with a bitter northerly wind I have had a warm glow inside recently as two more of the WDC Adopt a Dolphin stars have returned to this area after the winter period. Rainbow and her young son Indigo plus Moonlight and her youngster are back hunting at Chanonry Point most days now. The photo below is of Rainbow and Indigo and the lower picture is Moonlight and her youngest son.

Now if only I could track down Spirit I would be a happy man. Spirits daughter Sparkle has had a baby last autumn so that makes Spirit a young Grandmother !
