Day 5 Lossiemouth to Avoch

It wasn't far from our guest house to 'the spot' at RAF Lossiemouth - that being the one for when they are on westerlies. One or two other enthusiasts joined us here but activity was very slow, and upon our return after a lunch the very same airframes were launched. This is certainly not Coningsby! But at least you can get some decent photos here, although they are best soon after they start the morning's flying.

Later in the day, we quit here and headed beside the Moray Firth, over the Kessock Bridge to our next small hotel which was situated in the village of Avoch on the Black Isle. We chose this location as it is very near Chanonry Point which is a hot spot for dolphins. Whilst being aware that the dolphins are best seen on a rising tide, we did not expect to see any on this occasion and we were proved right. However, we would be here again after a few days. The point at least has a lighthouse to admire whatever is in the sea.
