Dolphins

[The chimp]

Last year I went to cornwall and went on a speedboat trip to see dolphins . They were frolicing and dancing on the waves. They came to the boat and performed, they wanted the attention. it was amazing!

Hi, we also think dolphins are amazing. We are lucky enough to own a holiday home in West Wales Aberporth. There is a resident school of dolphins that live in the area and can regularly be seen from the beach. We love to watch them when they are there.

We saw the Dolphins again this morning they were jumping and playing. Its such a calming and beautiful sight, it makes you stop and question who we are.

I have some magical memorys of watching a group of Dolphins very close to shore off Chanonry point in the Moray firth back in July 1999, my kids still talk about it now, such a fantastic sight leaves a very lasting impression.

It is truely magical to see dolphins around our coast lines,it is an impression that stays in your mind forever.
That is why www.dolphincareuk.org are fighting a campaign to help stop the needless deaths of our beautiful dolphins from happening.
Hundereds are dying every winter and washing up on our beaches, this is also another impression that sticks in your mind.
It is a horrid sight and one that must stop if our childrens children are ever to see what you have seen.
The dolphins frolicking with their calves in the wild where they belong.

I have an annual holiday in the Scotttish Highlands and Islands and always make a trip to Chanonry Point to see the Bottle-nosed Dolphins (with the Black Isle Red Kites on the way!).

You really can not fail to see them here and the views are often extremely close to the shoreline, depending on the tide I think. An awesome sight and highly recommended .... but it is a long way to travel for many of us.

I am still waiting for that elusive photo of a dolphin jumping out of the water .... maybe June of this year when I am up that way again.

I am a little confused are there 2 dolphin threads running?

Dolphins are amazing creatures, I went on a sea life watching trip in Pembrokeshire last summer and was lucky enough to see some harbour Porpoise, and a glimpse of a Grey Seal before it slipped back under water.

Me and my girlfriend are going to head back to the Welsh coast at some point to hopefully see dolphins and or whales.

Re the dolphins at Chanory Point, they are coming in at moment on the rising tide, always depends on the fish Good times to see them are in June and July. Lucky to live two miles awy from them.

Link to action so far this year Dolphins 2007 - a photoset on Flickr

Minke Whales also spooted off Cromarty and in Rosemarkie bay.

Hope you all get good shots while on your visist to the point. Evening times great for photography if tides and weather are right.

I've seen dolphins and whales in the States which was brilliant. I've also seen dolphins off the coast in mid wales, that was a while ago though. It would be great to see them again.
