We have been watching them for the past few years and collecting images but this one from Laura is possibly telling us something about them. There has often seemed to be a certain wariness between some animals and others. Apache and Ringo a mother and well grown calf have been regulars in this time and they have shown a marked reluctance to integrate with other animals that have visited Fishguard Bay. It would certainly be fair to say that of the dolphins that have visited here they do not, all just get together into a cohesive pod.
The two images here first Laura's and then mine seem to be of a larger dolphin possibly attacking a smaller animal. It may just be play but I have read about violent interactions between adults and juveniles. It will be worth trying to film some of these interactions to try and clarify just what is going on...
