My website (doing work on it atm):
Happy 100th Birthday to a true icon of wildlife conservation, filmmaking and television — Sir David Attenborough, the great communicator. After a lifetime spent exploring and revealing the wonders of our natural world, David continues to inspire us, reminding us how deeply connected all living things are and why every species matters. An important message we all need to carry forward.
Sir David Attenborough - have a wonderful 100th birthday.
Here's my namesake surfing through big waves out near the Riff Bank sandbank in the Inner Moray Firth. The underwater sandbanks are the other reason that the Inner Firth is designated a Special Area of Conservation, the first being the presence of resident Bottlenose dolphins, like big Charlie boy here. #Nature #Dolphins #Wildlife #Sea
ID#440 "Sickle" one of our lovely big girl dolphins throwing her big salmon lunch into air today just a few metres off the beach at Chanonry Point, Black Isle, Scotland. Taken from the Mischief RIB about 300 metres out in the Chanonry Narrows. Have a lovely weekend everyone🤗 🐬
Heading for Hoy on a cloudless day... for #MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday #Sea #Orkney #Coast #Scotland #PentlandFirth #OldManOfHoy
Doing a bit of filming for an upcoming Channel 4 programme today at Chanonry Point - thankfully the big weather front mainly went round us, not through us. Very strong N/W wind though.
West Coast of Scotland sunsets are pretty impressive sometimes... #Sunset #Landscape #SilentSunday

And will there be an apology to David from the Tangerine Tyrant to David?? Of course not. Sue the bastard David!
Quoting
After having charged Olympian athlete David Hearn — an innocent man — with vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, the US Justice Department now admits, the pool was never vandalized, but fell apart because of rushed work by the contractor.
In other words… Trump's Justice department admits Trump lied about vandalism, and an innocent man was falsely accused because of it.

Open quoted postA nice trip out on the water on Dolphin Mischief yesterday in lovely conditions (a bit cloudy and drizzly this morning) with groups of dolphins around the Chanonry Narrows including this very cute and still very pale year old baby, Spirtle's second calf. #Nature #Wildlife #Inverness
Dun Telve Broch, Wester Ross. These Iron Age stone structures are wonders from a bygone age, expert work in stone. For #SilentSunday
One of the sub-adult Bottlenose dolphin "lads" showing off today - North Sutor, Cromarty Firth, Scotland for #MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday
Okay, here's a cracker for #ThrowbackThursday - this photo was taken in 1993 by an old buddy Pete MacDonald from Findochty on the Moray Coast. I was helping him repair his old boat's even older diesel engine (hence the manky overalls) when we got word that a young dolphin had been trapped and drowned in a poaching net. We recovered the young dolphin who, only 5 years old was around 9 feet in length. Me beside the dolphin for scale (I'm 6 feet). #Bycatch #Dolphin #Nature
Okay - suppose it's got to be done...
A close up of the Bottlenose dolphin dorsal fin of ID#744 "Bonnie" this afternoon, the greenish tinge to the wet reflection on the fin is the passengers spray suits - she came that close! for #MeerMittwoch #SeaWednesday
Some dolphins approaching Chanonry Point earlier this afternoon with a few people on the beach - a cold but sunny day, I was out on the bigger 'Spirit' cruiser today, higher up so a different perspective on the dolphins.
I missed some dolphins this morning, couldn't get on the boat because of a Teams meeting 🤬 but some wee Harbour Porpoise appeared this afternoon, tiny souls but very endearing.

Replying to
@benchwhistler@mastodon.scot @JackTheCat@mastodon.scot East Coast rivers seem to be getting better salmon runs than the Inner Moray Firth - pretty dire in many cases 😢
Replying to
@thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot No, it's not one that I remember when I used to haunt Glasgow. Glasgow has some damned fine buildings.

@pauloldhamsnp@mastodon.scot Hammer them with requests and enquiries, then hammer them some more. That shower don't actually want to do any of the real work like you do Paul. It's all performative. They'll soon get fed up and slink off.

@NormanDunbar They were being a bit elusive yesterday Norman, couldn't get any close up photos, even with a 500mm lens - hey ho, try again in a few hours. Nice looking day again out there. Best wishes to you and Mrs D and Wesley 🤗🌞

@geomannie@mastodon.scot I've just handed back a hire car (Ford Puma) and it had one of these in the centre of the dashboard - very distracting, and the smaller one behind the steering wheel wasn't laid out very well at all, could hardly see the speedometer.
