A Mother and calf Harbour Porpoise who approached our stationary boat in The Minch. The mother then began logging not too far from us on a number of occasions and the thought is that she was nursing the calf, who still has its fatal folds.

Yesterday we were treated to some fabulous views of 30+ Bottlenose Dolphins in Thurso Bay 🐬 They stayed around for most of the day, often close to shore allowing hundreds of people to get out and see them.

Spotted WTE G542 from the house here on the north coast of Scotland last week, one of 12 birds released/fledged from the Isle of Wight in 2021. 41 days before my sighting she had been recorded on the outskirts of Reading. Had also been in Caithness during the summer of 2022

Both the Kingfisher and Great Spotted Woodpecker have been filmed on the Thurso Riverside over the last few days. An adult Iceland Gull is passing the house at Scrabster daily, but sadly my visiting Waxwings left a week ago.
