    Magical place indeed - one gets the feeling the dolphins actually enjoy being watched by an audience....and put up an extra show...would love to see it again!

    Fantastic images Dan and photographing Dolphins can be very difficult as I found out during our cruise of the Mediterranean back in May. Anticipating their breaches is key as I’m sure you found out and I had an advantage over you because I’d have been higher up and was able to see them under the surface before they breached. Well done for challenging the inappropriate behaviour re the parent who wasn’t happy people were having a go at her. I would have done the same and I wish people would accept when they are doing wrong especially when there are numerous people voicing their opinions. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 subscribers.

      Cheers Gary for your continued support it’s really appreciated. Yeah you couldn’t see the dolphins under water at all so predicting the breach was really challenging. I suppose the challenge is the attraction and what leads to the gratification when you get it 👍🏻

    We'll done challenging the idiot with the obnoxious kids, someone always trying to spoil it for others. We spent four days on the caravan site along the beach, went every day to watch and were blessed with one fantastic evening observing and photographing these wonderful creatures. Thanks for bringing back such happy memories.

    Sensational Dan 👌 I was up in that neck of the woods back in late April 2019. I took a trip out into the estuary on a high powered twin engined inflatable from Cromarty. The skipper was a real gem. Well worth investigating. The Dolphins came close to the vessel and the experience was electrifying. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm as always, all the best. Phil

    We go 3 months every year, fantastic place, noticed you was not using a red dot, you get more chance to get more photos, because you get full vision and don't have to look through view finder 👍 by

      I had noticed a couple of people who were using the red dot. Got talking to a guy called Rob English who spends a lot of time there and said the same 👍🏻

    Love it. We were up in that neck of the woods back in March - just along the coast at Cullen when my wife and I enjoyed a weekend workshop with Kim Grant. Didn't see any dolphins but did see loads of seals and got some great shots of the Northern Lights. Definitely going to return to that bit of coast at some point but it is a long way from my home down on the South Coast near Brighton!!! To see the seals - ua-cam.com/video/1uGT_MVthLc/v-deo.html

      Thanks Brian and great video clip of the seals too. I thought it was a long trip for me from Manchester but Brighton, yes that a long haul
