Timelapse of the Aurora and the tide, filmed overnight 12-13th Dec 2025 from Nairn (Highland, Scotland) looking across the Moray Firth. Another spectacular night of dancing skies! #Aurora ##Highlands #Scotland #Timelapse #MorayFirth #Nairn #NightSky @aurorawatchuk

Had some wonderful views of this very young calf and mother Bottlenose dolphin in the Moray Firth last week. Side by side shows just how small it is! @whalesorg #MorayFirth #BottlenoseDolphin #Calf #Scotland

@BenBraddock10 @DJIGlobal @BBCSpringwatch No, they are filter feeders, filtering plankton out of the water. In the video you can see the plankton as coloured dots. Amazing that one of our biggest animals eats the smallest! As it swims by you can see the gills in its side where the filtered water is expelled.

For 3yrs I’ve had an image in mind - the moment a basking shark swam towards me, mouth wide open. This weekend I had the chance to try and get it & the shark performed perfectly! Filmed in #MorayFirth on @DJIGlobal #BaskingShark #Scotland @BBCSpringwatch #Underwater

@BenBraddock10 @DJIGlobal @BBCSpringwatch 🤣🤣

@BenBraddock10 @DJIGlobal @BBCSpringwatch No, on a boat, with a camera on a pole held over the side. The shark wasn’t quite as close as it appears as the camera was on a 2x zoom!

@BenBraddock10 @VisitScotland I’m not sure what sets them apart, the big skies where we have uninterrupted views of the different layers helps & you can often see distinct systems between high & low clouds, but I think the high latitude effect of the sun really helps the colours & it to persist longer 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last nights sunset over Inverness and the Kessock Bridge, a true sky full of colour sunset #Sunset #Inverness #Highlands @VisitScotland #Autumn

Dawn over the Moray Firth, not a ripple in sight and barely any sound, a very peaceful start to the day. Viewed from Hillockhead, #BlackIsle @timstenton @VisitScotland #Sunrise #Autumn #Highlands #Scotland

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

@HeyshamObs Wow, that’s an amazing image!

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

Timelapse of last nights aurora filmed from dusk to dawn, visible before it was dark it continued even through the clouds and rain! Filmed at Brown Hill, Hillockhead, Black Isle. What a show! #Aurora #Scotland @timstenton #nightphotography @SkyeAuroras @BBCStargazing @BBCScotland

@UllapoolQueen @Jura_Harris @BBCSpringwatch @Dolphinchaz @HughHarrop @JoshsWildlife @SeaWatchersUK Definitely, hydrophones are incredible for revealing so much sound - but also for when they go silent - that can be revealing too! Wonder if someone like HWDT could loan one, or one of the academic studies? Ignore Carl - I’ve ‘spoken’ to them for years and I’m still sane….🤣

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

@UllapoolQueen @Jura_Harris @BBCSpringwatch @Dolphinchaz @HughHarrop @JoshsWildlife @SeaWatchersUK It’s amazing isn’t it, and you can pickup sound sometimes too - a privileged view into their world. I’ve never forgotten waking to the sound of clicks & whistles through a boat hull!😀 I’ve not done much underwater this year as still loads to process from last year!!

Common Dolphins bow riding today during another lovely trip on the ‘Shearwater’ @UllapoolQueen superb weather conditions once again allowed excellent views above and below the waves @HWDT_org #dolphins @Dolphinsighting #Ullapool #Highlands #Scotland

@rothiemoon You can start a ‘new’ trend: the Cairngorm Conker Challenge sounds good to me 😀

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

@BenBraddock10 @SkyeAuroras @BBCStargazing @BBCScotland @CanonUKandIE @VisitScotland I do, from Skye last summer. The lights in this one are Ardmair campsite, I suspect they think they don’t emit much light but when it’s so dark even small lights look bright!

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

Another superb Aurora early this morning dark highland skies revealing many stars as well as the dancing lights. View over Ben More Coigach from Ardmair #Highlands @SkyeAuroras @BBCStargazing @BBCScotland #Aurora #NorthernLights #Scotland @CanonUKandIE #CanonR6mk2 @VisitScotland

Close views of this very young calf as a large pod of Bottlenose Dolphins crossed Scarborough Bay this afternoon @Dolphinsighting @porpoiseSB #Dolphins #Scarborough @Welcome2Yorks #Calf #YorkshireCoast

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

@canonrumorsguy That suits me having recently bought the R6mk2 which I’m loving…but what I’m really interested in is when will we have a R7mk2 ??🤷🏻‍♀️

Juvenile Little Gull seen from the Ullapool to Stornaway Ferry Friday (11:23, 30/8/24) it was flying past a group of Kittiwakes which highlighted just how tiny it is!! @BirdGuides #Migration @Natures_Voice

@UllapoolQueen @HWDT_org @VisitScotland @CanonUKandIE I heard you were a little busy… 🙂

[Electron Blue @SnapperGirl2]

Another great day on the water with @UllapoolQueen stunning conditions and plenty of action, never tire of the common dolphins & great sea birds too. First few dolphin images: #Dolphins @HWDT_org #Ullapool @VisitScotland #Highlands #Scotland #CanonR6mk2 @CanonUKandIE
