We passed the pod of killer whales today as we were heading down river from James Watt Dock at Gourock pier. It truly was an amazing sight and I'm not exaggerating.

They aren'tMade it onto the news! Had no idea they were seen regularly off Arran.

I think you should tell Mr Nairn....he's obviously wasting his time on the topic.
Nothing like as exciting as the Orcas in the Clyde, but those of you transiting the Crinan Canal can meet Ardrishaig's otter family who have taken to swimming in the basin and in the reach from 2-4 in the centre of the village. Reportedly displaced from their home in the old oil depot by construction work, the big dog otter is particularly bold, swimming within a few feet of me when on our boat on the basin pontoon. Probably not be there for long as the trout they are coming up with are not big.
If they were badgers they would be protected by legislation from disturbance but then they are black and white and therefore cuddly?
