Dolphins

This morning broke with a thin mist of Kilchoan sunshine and only a breath of wind blowing from the southwest, just enough to create patterns across the surface of the sea.

This is ideal weather for spotting anything moving in the water.  We had heard that a group of three otters had been seen recently but, just after ten this morning, it was a small pod of dolphins that made a leisurely pass along the coast, not more than a hundred metres out.

They were moving sedately, as if in no hurry to be anywhere, but coming out of the water enough to be able to see that they were Common Dolphins.
