Dolphin Sightings


A grey day yesterday was brightened by the appearance of a pod of bottlenose dolphins to
the delight of Mara Mhor passengers.
They joined us as we came past the salmon farm
and spent 40 minutes frolicking around the boat. They were between 7 and 10 in number
and they put on a spectacular display jumping out of the water, twirling and splashing. They were so close at times I was afraid they were actually going to collide with the hull of the boat. They certainly seemed to to enjoy the audience.
On my next trip out to the seal colony they were waiting to accompany the boat again and spent another 45 minutes playing alongside Mara Mhor and followed us back almost into the bay.
