Slap and tickle - a photo on Flickriver

Slap and tickle

            Although the dolphins appear to be having fun together leaping in and out of the water other things are actually on their minds. My advice to any salmon, is don't be fooled by their apparent playfulness.

Chanonry point is located at a narrow point opposite Fort George on the Moray Firth. As the tide rises the salmon move through this narrow stretch of water. Unfortunately for them some 190 dolphins also know this. The result is one of the most amazing wildlife spectacles I have had the pleasure to watch.

Many thanks as always to all those kind enough to stop by and comment, fave or even just look at my photos. It is very much appreciated.
