Risso's Dolphin

A walk along to Inganess via the track by Highland Park and the bridle path. Walking along the shore path I noticed a dog-walker staring out to sea and thought that there might be a cetacean out there, but couldn't see anything. When I got closer, though, she did say she'd seen something, so I scanned more carefully and saw several dorsal fins rise. Risso's dolphins! I'm no expert but Risso's are comparatively easy to identify with their large, rounded head. This is one semi-breaching. A fair cure of the Lockdown Blues.
