Dolphins at Chanonry Point
As promised, more photos from Scotland! The bottlenose dolphins were the main reason for us going to the Black Isle and they didn’t disappoint! They are one of my favourite animals and I was eager to see them in their natural habitat. Chanonry Point was the place to be to see them, about an hour and a half after low tide, when they come into the bay to catch the salmon. I managed to get quite a lot of dorsel fin shots (like the one above!) but also some ones with them breaching, which was fantastic to see.
The photo below was taken when the dolphins were quite a distance away, probably a mile or more away from the shoreline. It was still fantastic to see and through my camera’s lense and the binoculars you didn’t miss any of their spectacular displays! There were times when all you saw were dorsal fins and then suddenly, out of nowhere, they would jump and leap about for a few minutes, giving us all a great show and (hopfeully) a good photographic opportunity!
