The Wonder of Nature
I just cast out again and had a small knot in my line. Whilst trying to untangle it, not too pleasant at 4 degrees celsius in my pjyamas, I heard this blowing sound. The river was very flat and calm and I looked up and to my delight, about 50 yards in front of me, was a baby dolphin, a porpoise, surfacing every 20 yards or so.
I didn't know whether to get my binoculars or camera or wake the family up first I was so excited. I tried to get a shot but this is the best - you can just make out the head. About 45 minutes later he/she came back but I still didn't get a shot but at least we all saw him/her this time.
Delightful.
you heard the wind blowing in your pyjamas at 4 degrees. have you been eating a little too much of the local wildlife ?
your dolphin pictures are as good as my celebrity spotting photos.
