They sure are superb photos. The little ones face is amazing.

On Seabirds advice I got myself out to Holborn Head in the evening, after seeing a group of Rissos breaching near Murkel point. One Risso did come by and I managed to get a photo.

A Minke whale in Dunnet bay this evening and 6 Porpoise in Thurso Bay. Rissos were also spotted this afternoon off Holborn Head.
