Kesslet The Connoisseur

I am lucky enough to be able to witness the WDC adoption dolphins at very close quarters sometimes through my big camera lenses and a few days ago I had ID#433 “Kesslet” right in front of me gulping down a juicy salmon with the air of a real connoisseur. At this time of year the migratory salmon are getting lower in numbers but every so often a run of fish whizzes through the area called the Chanonry Narrows where these highly intelligent dolphins have invented a method of hunting by using the flooding tide to their advantage.

I am always delighted to see the dolphins packing away these calories but you have to feel a bit sorry for the salmon – a very powerful and noble fish.
