Animal
programme presenter Rolf Harris has been sailing Northern
Scotland waters in search of dolphins for his current
TV show, Rolf’s Amazing World Of Animals,
accompanied by Really Wild Show presenter Michaela Strachan.
Last year Michaela adopted a dolphin called "Bubbles"
one of the community of bottlenose dolphins living in
the Cromarty Firth. The goup is one of only three in the
British Isles and is proving as attractive to visitors
as that other great Highland water creature, Nessie.
For the series, due to be aired in August, Rolf interviewed
stars like Michaela, Joanna Lumley and Robin Gibb, before
heading north to film the dolphins themselves.
Michaela, who is a patron of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation
Society, says "I am sure I spotted Bubbles during
filming. It was a wonderful experience."
Highland and Islands Film Commissioner, Trish Shorthouse
says "There’s a growing interest in filming
in the Highlands because of the diversity of what is on
offer. In this instance it is not the scenery, but the
wildlife, and Rolf’s Amazing World of Animals
will inevitably encourage other film and TV makers to
come here."
