I was out at Chanonry Point yesterday filming for Channel 5, all went well and we even had some dolphins go trundling by - among the nine or so that we saw were these two, my namesake "Charlie" is the dorsal fin on the left, his buddy Clyde is the smaller fin on the right. #ChanonryPoint #Dolphins #Nature #PhotoID

Too windy for boats again today sadly, yesterday I could just about hold the camera steady enough for distant shots of #dolphins around #Chanonry Point... (clockwise from top left) "Porridge" waiting in the Narrows, "Sickle" and her youngster, "Scoopy" 's fin and then a closer pass of the shore by Sickle & youngster. #dolphins #nature #wildlife #DolphinsOfMastodon #ChanonryPoint #Scotland

Great to spend time with whales.org colleagues down in Wiltshire this week but it's nice to be home given the snowy weather - here's the #ChanonryPoint Chanonry Narrows from the EasyJet flight coming in to land near #Inverness today.

Aerial view of the Chanonry Narrows near Inverness showing the two peninsulas today being very snowy - photo taken from the Bristol to Inverness EasyJet flight.

Well, we got some snow last night. Conditions at Chanonry Point on the Black Isle were fairly epic for today’s dog walk!

A panoramic image of the lighthouse at Chanonry Point on the Black Isle just north of Inverness in Scotland. The sandy beach is covered in white snow and the sky is laden with dark cloud foreboding with more incoming snow. The lighthouse sits in the middle of the image with the Moray Firth on both sides as the lighthouse was built in a small pensinsula extending into the Firth.

When I go for a wander at Chanonry Point on the Black Isle, I tend to have my attention on the east side looking out to the North Sea. As you come around the southern point heading back to the car park, you get a view west of the Moray Firth with Inverness in the background. The clouds and sky on this day were fairly dramatic as the weather passed by.

A black and white image of the landscape around  Chanonry Point near Inverness in Scotland. Dark clouds roll across the sky casting light rays across the scene. A dark stone beach dominates the foreground. The silhouette of a couple standing in a stone jetty provides a focus for the middle distance. In the sky, a gull floats above the couple. The water reflects silvery light.

A lovely, sunny but cold #GoodFriday onboard the Mischief RIB passing #ChanonryPoint - Bonnie had a fish in Rosemarkie Bay, people at the Rosemarkie Café could probably see her. Have a lovely #Easter weekend everyone 🐬🤗

I'm taking 30 snaps this year between the hours of sunset and sunrise as part of the Mamie Martin Fund 30th birthday project for girls' education in Malawi. So here are this week's: two from Cromarty, and one of the northern lights from Chanonry Point. Please boost to raise the MMF profile!

Dolphin watching at Chanonry Point 🙂🐬

...doubtless those around here with bigger cameras and longer lenses will have better photos but the fact this is handheld from the phone suggests how close they came around the headland. Perfect timing after the walk down the beach from Rosemarkie

It has been a very quiet few weeks for seeing the local Bottlenose dolphins in the Inner Moray Firth around Chanonry Point, the winter period can be quiet anyway as they spend a lot of time further out to sea. The most reliable time to see them up here in the Moray Firth is from the end of March onwards, once the salmon run picks up. #dolphins #MorayFirth #Wildlife #ChanonryPoint #DolphinsOfMastodon

Not much around at a very calm and almost springlike Chanonry Point today - this is the small head of a Common seal pushing through the very calm water... #seals #ChanonryPoint #Scotland #wildlifeohotography
