Bottlenose dolphins - maybe not in Welsh waters, but probably Welsh dolphins!?

From Dave Williams...
Yesterday I was lucky to be on a photographic pelagic trip in to Liverpool Bay when we came across a large pod of Bottlenose Dolphins. They swam alongside us for at least 30 minutes. It was difficult to ascertain numbers but I guessed at least 30, maybe as many as 50


Accurately counting dolphins in the field is really difficult if not impossible especially when you get into double figures!We have asked Dave to send fin shots to Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre as they have been doing Photo ID longer than anybody and their cataloger is available on their website www.cbmwg.org
