The best places to see dolphins in Scotland include; the Bay of Nigg, the Moray Firth, Broughty Ferry Castle, at the entrance to the Firth of Tay, Tayport harbour in Fife, Anstruther on the coast of Fife has experienced a rise in dolphin sightings around the Firth of Forth, dolphins are often seen at Ardnamurchan Point, Mull, and Red Point, south of Gairloch. The predominance of bottlenose dolphins is also a feature of the waters on the west coast, with over 60 members of the species living in the Sound of Barra and the Hebrides. Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common and well known members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins live in groups typically of 10 to 30 members, called pods, but group size varies from single individuals up to more than 1,000. Their diets consist mainly of forage fish. Dolphins often work as a team to harvest fish schools, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication, including squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body movements, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water surface, Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing.
