Back Up A Bit Charlie !

Hi Everyone,

I had my very big lens on the camera yesterday at Chanonry Point and I was right at the waters edge to get close up shots of fin and body markings of the dolphins. My namesake Charlie decides to get a bit silly and launches himself out of the water really close to the beach so I had no chance of getting all of him in the frame.

Thanks Charlie…Sundance, Kesslet and Mischief were there too and a few others came near the Point in the rising tide but turned and headed back out to sea again. I need to catch up with Rainbow again, she hasn’t been around Chanonry since I photographed her on the 6th of this month – I’ll find her, don’t you worry.

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
