On the Hunt for Dolphins

 We took ourselves up to Cromarty for a couple of days last week, stopping just outside Inverness for the night, tp give us a couple of chances to see dolphins at Chanonry Point on the Black Isle. We arrived at about 1.30pm to coincide with a local dolphin watch that we had seen on Facebook. The westher was brilliant calm and sunny, so not too cold.

However our luck was out, we stayed for about 3 hours, so then had a drive up to Cromarty and Udale Bay before checking in to out travelodge.

Next day we packed up and did the previous day in reverse, before driving home. So Udale Bay and the RSPB hide for a bit. Firstly a single Pink-footed goose form the previous day

A curlew posed nicely,
There were plenty of Gulls, Herring, Common and Black-headed
and lots of Teal.

as well as Redshank, Shelduck, Wigeon, Lapwing, Crow and Hooded Crow.

But now back to Chanonry Point....success!!
