THE Moray Firth's bottlenose dolphin colony have been delighting wildlife watchers along the coast over the past few weeks. But the influx of visitors has led one wildlife organisation to issue a plea for the public to act responsibly to ensure Scotland remains the number one place in Europe for dolphin watching.
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society is concerned following reports of harassment.
Sightings of dolphins in the Moray Firth were reported on 19 days in June from the Dolphin and Seal Centre at North Kessock and on 25 days at Spey Bay.
Harbour porpoises and minke whales have also been reported from the WDCS wildlife centres and other shore-based watching sites around Scotland.
