Watched from the leaving ferry in Port Askaig, a Dolphin jumping in the Sound of Islay (and I think there’s another one in the water right next to it)

Another picture of some of the Dolphins I watched while leaving Islay from Port Askaig in November 2018. Not the greatest picture, but under the circumstances (fading light, only a small pocket camera to hand etc) I was happy to capture anything.
