Watching The Waves…

By Charlie Phillips | 25th February 2015

Hi Everyone,

After a good start to February for sightings of our dolphins it has gone a bit on the quiet side again with very little breaking the surface at all.

There have been some pretty rubbish days weather wise recently, but at other times the light has been beautiful – like the setting sun just catching the slow shutter speed waves in the photo above. I hope to have some dolphin news for you soon, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for better sightings as the start of March draws ever closer.

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
