I Know Where You Are Mischief !

I often get sent photos of Bottlenose dolphins from all over Scotland to look at to see if I can identify them, and thanks to the images sent to me by Mr Douglas Gordon of Portmahomack, who was on a fishing trip in the Dornoch Firth (about 25km away from the Cromarty Firth) onboard a small boat last Sunday (8th) – I know where big WDC Adoption character Mischief has recently wandered off to ! He was seen last Sunday in the Cromarty Firth along with Spirtle and her sister Honey plus Honey’s calf. It’s not a long distance to travel for these big dolphins – it’s the equivalent of a day out for us but he certainly gets about a bit does old Mischief – what a boy ! I’ve included a map to show you the Cromarty Firth area, where I last photographed him (he was with Spirtle and a few other then too) and then up at the top of the map (thanks Google Maps) you can see where Mischief was seen.
