Kesslet's Baby Update

I unexpectedly encountered WDC Adopt a Dolphin star “Kesslet” and her little baby earlier this afternoon in the Cromarty Firth, many kilometres from where I last spotted them a few days ago near the Kessock Bridge, Inverness.

Kesslet’s baby, just over a month old is looking great, and seems to have picked up some linear scratch marks on the right side of his or her dorsal fin, perhaps bumping into or rubbing up against something. It was my closest view of them yet and I imagine that Kesslet and the two other dolphins that were in the area were looking for food in the shelter of the Cromarty Firth as it was a bit rough further out to sea. Hopefully it won’t be long before I see them back near the Kessock Channel where they normally spend most of their time.
