Some Sad News…

Sadly we think that Kesslet has lost her latest baby at around 7 months old as it has been over two weeks now with no sightings of a cute little dinky dorsal fin next to either Kesslet or Charlie. Dolphins calves at this age are still very maternally dependant and couldn’t survive on their own. Its doubly sad for Kesslet as she lost her last baby too at around the same age in 2015. We often never find out what happens to dolphins as small as this when they go missing so it will remain a heartbreaking little mystery I’m afraid. Kesslet meanwhile is getting on with things, hunting in the Kessock Channel and around the Inverness Harbour area, catching big salmon and sometimes Charlie comes along to keep his Mum company. The photo below is one of the last images I have of her baby, jumping happily in the Kessock Channel. Rest in peace little one.
