Dinner Is Served…

It’s great to see some dolphins beginning to visit Chanonry Point after the winter and recently big Scoopy or “Flosse” to our WDC colleagues in Germany (“Flosse” meaning fin or flipper in German) has turned up and immediately caught himself a lovely big salmon, maybe 6kg in weight – good to see him keeping his strength up. You can’t adopt him in the UK but if you live in the EU then you can through our WDC Germany office HERE along with Rainbow, Speedy (Sundance) and Happy (Moonlight) and hopefully he is going to be a regular visitor again this year to the coastline of the Black Isle near Inverness – about 55 miles from the WDC Scottish Dolphin Centre at Spey Bay.
