Seawatching

The ranger had organised a seawatch off Strathy Point last night and we were in luck - two minke whales feeding, a pod of 15-30 common dolphins (too far away to count accurately) and a small pod of five or six Risso's dolphins which swam right up to the east side of the point where we were sitting:

Hi, I found this blog looking for details on Drumhollistan for my blog after a cycle out there.

Surely this wasn't the weather out in Strathy?

Hi Alec - amazingly, yes it was! It chucked it down for most of the day, but by 4pm it was sunny and we were watching from 5 until 7. One of those really lucky days :o)

Well caught Caro.

You jammy dodger, Caro! I had intended to cycle out to Strathy, but made it only as far as the border with Sutherland before turning back in disgust.
