Dolphin Family Group

Today's Whale Watch Explorer and Wildlife Adventure experienced the warm
welcome of a family of Bottlenose Dolphins. The 15 strong pod consisted of 4
adults, 8 juveniles and 3 very young calfs. Bottlenose Dolphins live in very
close family groups and this particular pod was very close, with all 15
individuals surfacing together and playing, jumping and chasing games round
the boat. They stayed with us for over 2 hours before continuing their
journey.

The SLS team were also able to get some ID photos of the dolphins, which
will hopefully be used to identify most of the dolphins enabling us to learn
more about the 30 strong hebridean population. For more information follow this link -
