Beautiful photos @Lochgmarcp
Recent highlights are probably seeing the Dolphins at North Kessock, I prefer watching them from there rather than Chanonry Point because it's usually a little less hectic. I'm a birder too so simple things like seeing Swift in summer or hearing Chiff Chaff makes me very happy. Last year I managed to get a life tick and saw a White-Tailed Sea Eagle from the road as we were driving up the Bealach na Ba. The challenge was trying to find somewhere to safely pull over and grab the bins before it disappeared off over the hill!

I love the way they run, but in particular I love the Scottish folk-story that their cry - ‘Bi Glic! Bi Glic!’ - is actually Gaelic, and translates as ‘Be wise, be wise'. This is why they're on the Scottish Police College Coat of arms.
They have a habit of flying past just as I'm about to do something unwise!

As I mentioned before cowries look amazing when they are crawling around
Nudibranch are slug like creatures but with amazing display papillae on their backs, here is one climbing over a cowrie
Finally here is a Sea Urchin with its tentacles out feeding caught in the light giving a rainbow effect
Has anyone else gone out exploring the beautiful underwater life around Scotland?
