Scottish dolphins
It's 8.30 in the morning, and Simon King has come to Chanonry Point on the Moray Firth. As the tide begins to turn and flood into the estuary, there's a mass of turbulence as the freshwater meets the sea, it is here in the deep water that the salmon and trout are gathering to begin their push up river to breed. And it’s these fish that attract the dolphins into the Moray Firth. Riding the bow waves of large tankers and even medium-sized boats the dolphins can be seen surfing in the waves. Coming closer in to shore, the dolphins begin hunting just 15 metres from where Simon is standing.
