Winter dolphins

Murdo · 27 January 2019, 15:09

Took the rib out last Saturday from Stornoway down the East Coast of Lewis Into the Witches Pool in Loch Maravig and came across a pod of common dolphins on way back. What a stunning day for it! Have managed to get out at least twice a month over winter, although some days have been more ‘challenging’ than others.

Great photos, thankyou for sharing. Looks like you had some nice flat seas to get out.

Yeah, had been a period of 48 still hours previous. Rare winter spell. Amazing clarity that day, that you only really get in winter high pressure.
