White Horses

Wow... it was a bit breezy today, the sea was alive with white wave crests. I checked XC weather and the wind was up to 36 miles an hour at Dalcross, which we look straight over to. Amazing watching a yacht tacking up the Moray Firth. What a day to be out on a wind surfer.
In the harbour the ducks stayed up towards the shore, they weren't going anywhere today.

It was great to sit with a cup of coffee and watch the squalls coming in across the Firth, at one point there was a lovely rainbow and the sun glinted off birds as they hung in the wind ready to dive

Otter spotted

Two mornings this week I have been up early. The tide had been out and there was an otter playing in the mouth of the harbour. It was great to watch. It caught a fish and clung to the harbour wall as it ate it, this was a bit complex as it needed a hand to keep hold of the wall and one of the fish. There was a bit of a comedy show and fiinally it worked it out. What a great way to start the day. I was late for work both days, I just couldn't pull myself away from watching the Otter
