My Dolphin Season Gets Under Way…

After a few frustrasting weeks of playing hide and seek with Kesslet and her baby I have managed, finally, to get a few (poor) photos of them in Inverness Harbour but I was hoping to see them nearer to my camera today at Chanonry where I had two WDC colleagues with me, Tracey and Helen, who braved the cold North East wind and misty conditions. No Kesslet and baby (they were back at North Kessock apparently) but we did see Zephyr and her youngster plus away out in the distance was Bonnie patrolling around looking for fish and her calf who had a quick bow-ride of a fishing boat just for a laugh. Great to be back at my “Office” again and it won’t be long before the Adopt A Dolphin gang will be back here too looking for big salmon.
