Great photos Snappy. I'm always glad to see the avian offering but it was nice to see other denizens of the lochs doing what comes naturally.
Thanks Jack

Another one I've not seen, looks like it's becoming quite a long tour of the Scottish Isles!! Was it cruising like that Snappy, or did you time the shots as it surfaced?

With all the travelling to get their, no point in rushing back....
It was moving fairly slow PB, so I had time to focus when it appeared on the surface. I am not sure, their could have been more than one. Definitely easier than the common porpoises, I had no keepers from them....
