Two grateful kayakers were rescued off the Moray coast after capsizing.
The pair raised the alarm after getting into difficulty near Findhorn Bay at about 14:30 on Sunday as the tide pulled them further out to sea.
Coastguard rescue teams from Burghead and Nairn and a helicopter were sent, and the pair were brought ashore by the Moray Inshore Rescue Organisation boat.
They were taken to Findhorn and checked over by a winchman paramedic before being allowed to go home.
