Re: A whale of a time!
I bet that was a cold wait Twink. I love the thought of Nessie but not sure if there's any truth to it or not. My dad was a firm believer and used to enthral us kids with stories when we were young.We usually know when they are headed inshore as several people are members of a group called "Caithness and Moray Firth Cetacean Sightings" The word flies round once it's known they are here. Last night there was a load off Duncansby Head but I wasn't there.
We get a lot of Bottle Nose Dolphins here as well, often along in the harbour at Scrabster.

I have been to Scotland many times and, although I am not keen in the cold weather there
, I love the small roads with passing points & the great expanse of open land with few inhabitants. I am not a city girl but I liked Stirling... it felt more like a town than a city.

Dad always said he thought there was an underwater tunnel in/out of Loch Ness that Nessie used and she was only there for part of the year.
This is the road to my favourite Beach up here, you can't see it from the road and have to know the way there. You'd love it I'm sure.
I recorded it with my phone last year.14-06-2021, 03:31 PM

Re: A whale of a time!
This interesting item appeared to be relevant to this thread so for anyone interested the link below is to that ITV news item:"Killer whales can have close friendships, according to a study that used drones to film the animals.
The findings indicate that killer whales spend more time interacting with certain individuals in their pod, and tend to favour those of the same sex and similar age."

Anything can be found on the internet, including this on the elephants you wrote about.
That, according to the article, is to survive threats from humans:
