Marine animal workers have staged a rescue operation after a pair of dolphins became stranded on a beach in the north east of Scotland.
Specialists from charity British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) arrived at Fraserburgh beach earlier after a member of the public spotted the mammals early on Monday morning. The two dolphins could be seen facing each other as they lay beached in the sand.
Local drone firm Aberdeenshire Drone Services shared dramatic images of the ongoing rescue effort on its social media page after the charity called for aerial reconnaissance support. The dolphins can be seen being draped in wet blankets in order to protect them from drying out.
