She played between the 2 boats on the passage from The Cock of Arran to 1/3 of the way to Troon, then stayed with our boat until Holy Isle when we diverted to Lamlash.

PS - Bill - Did you manage to download the previous video without being infested with 'girlies'? If you can't get them, then I could try to make them available elsewhere.

Thanks for the vids Ash, damned difficult to capture the real moment, isn't it?
Didn't get girlies this time , but Pbucket seems to be dealing friendship on the side.

Don't know. The programme 'Ocean Giants' on BBC1 on Sunday night spoke of whales tail slaps being heard a mile away. Think that it can be a form of communication, can be a sign of playfulness, but can also be a warning to stay away.
We got the feeling that Dolly was showing off. She followed us - we weren't chasing her.

There was a dolphinh ambushing boats at Ardlamont three or four of Saturdays ago.
Do you mean - in an aggressive way?

No aggression I don't think. As we passed the buoy at the point it appeared with a splash and played alongside and under the boat for a while then swam off. I spoke to a couple of other people that day who had seen the same thing at the point.
Ardlamont was good at beginning of August 2008. There was a troop of performing dolphins there for a few weeks, maybe they have some sort of muster. Don't know what time of year they breed or whatever, but it may be a regular occurance.
