Timelapse of the Aurora and the tide, filmed overnight 12-13th Dec 2025 from Nairn (Highland, Scotland) looking across the Moray Firth. Another spectacular night of dancing skies! #Aurora ##Highlands #Scotland #Timelapse #MorayFirth #Nairn #NightSky @aurorawatchuk

Had some wonderful views of this very young calf and mother Bottlenose dolphin in the Moray Firth last week. Side by side shows just how small it is! @whalesorg #MorayFirth #BottlenoseDolphin #Calf #Scotland

For 3yrs I’ve had an image in mind - the moment a basking shark swam towards me, mouth wide open. This weekend I had the chance to try and get it & the shark performed perfectly! Filmed in #MorayFirth on @DJIGlobal #BaskingShark #Scotland @BBCSpringwatch #Underwater

Dawn over the Moray Firth, not a ripple in sight and barely any sound, a very peaceful start to the day. Viewed from Hillockhead, #BlackIsle @timstenton @VisitScotland #Sunrise #Autumn #Highlands #Scotland

Last nights sunset over Inverness and the Kessock Bridge, a true sky full of colour sunset #Sunset #Inverness #Highlands @VisitScotland #Autumn

Superb sunset at Nairn last night, amazing colours that just kept going and going! #MorayFirth #Highlands #Nairn #Sunset #Beach #Seaside #Holidays – at Nairn, Scotland

Sunrise from Hillockhead: for the last 3 months the sun has risen too far north to be visible, hiding behind Brown Hill, now it’s heading south again & getting later too! Taken at 5:38 this morning, a promising start to the day 😀 #MorayFirth #BlackIsle @timstenton #Sunrise

There’s an impressive thunder storm passing over #Inverness just now, watching from the other side of the #MorayFirth at Hillockhead, still in the sunshine! Amazing clouds too! @BBCWthrWatchers @highlandweather @CloudAppSoc #thunder #weather #highlands @timstenton

Unusual visitor to the Hillockhead feeders last night, as a Tawny Owl made two visits over a wet and windy hour. Often heard, occasionally seen but very rarely visits the feeders. @timstenton @RSPBScotland @BBCSpringwatch #Owl #Nightime #Nature @katemacrae – at Scotland, United Kingdom
