Sundance, Kesslet and a (not common) Common dolphin

I spent a lovely last afternoon of the season yesterday out on the water up near the Cromarty Firth onboard Ecoventures and the skipper Sarah and the guests and I enjoyed a visit by around twelve or so of the resident Bottlenose dolphins including Adopt a Dolphin stars Sundance and Kesslet who were side by side very close to the coastline, in the photo below you can see the face of Kesslet just coming out of the water in front of Sundance’s dorsal fin – scaring a gull in the process. 

Surprise of the trip was coming across this lovely juvenile Common dolphin, not a species that we see very often in the Moray Firth – what a wee cutie and a lovely way to finish off my “on the water” season.
