FISHERMEN and dolphin experts are reporting that migratory salmon are arriving later than expected to rivers in the Scottish Highlands.
Charlie Phillips, of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, said the fish were three to four weeks late, BBC News reported.
He said dolphins have just begun their first real hunting for salmon off a popular wildlife watching spot.
Meanwhile, minke whale and orcas - also known as killer whales - have been spotted in Highland waters this year. The Moray and Cromarty firths are home to bottlenose dolphins.
Elsewhere, there have been sights of orcas in the Pentland Firth, where they are hunting for seal pups, and minke whale have been spotted off Cromarty.

Should fisheries be closed during breeding time to allow stocks to reach more sustainable levels?
