Great to hear that Magnus survived his encounter with orca off the Moray coast and is now making his way up the Norwegian coast. Just hoping now that he survives the humans. Photo taken in April.

Mother and calf bottlenose dolphins swimming around Aberdeen Harbour this morning. Please don't pay to see dolphins off Aberdeen with the skipper recently convicted in court of disturbing cetaceans. You can watch dolphins perfectly well from land (North Pier or Greyhope Bay).

Birder Twitter, could I have ID confirmation please? I initially thought this was a Manx Shearwater but a frined has suggested Barolo Shearwater? Photographed today out from Funchal. Thanks.
