Arrived back after a day trip to our chalet near Ullapool in June as the sun went down at just after 10in the evening, only to hear splashing in the sea 60 yds away. Putting on my midge net I stood on the veranda with my telephoto, and pointed towards where I thought I could see a disturbance in the sea in the gathering gloom. Was it otters or perhaps a seal playing with a fish?
Certainly there were plenty of ripples. After taking lots of photos I got this shot, which later when I downloaded it onto the computer was completely black. But with photoshop I got this fish shape appear.
I did also get a couple of shots of fish jumping (also greatly photoshopped)
I am not really sure what species they were (Salmon or Sea Trout - probably Sea Trout), nor why they were jumping. The weather had been very dry this summer and the rivers were very low, so the returning fish could not enter the river mouths, so perhaps they were hanging around waiting for rain.
