From Alison Blasdale.

Hi,
Just thought you may wish to know of a small pod of common dolphin that were
filmed playing, leaping, feeding and bow riding inshore juts off Sandy Haven
beach in the Cleddau Estuary 2 days ago.  I believe it is quite unusual for
them to be inside the haven so close to shore. There are great video clips
on the Pembrokeshire I love it Facebook page.
Kind regards,
Alison 
Hi Alison yep this may be due to what seems to a lot of trawlers seemingly mopping up as much fish as they can beyond the Smalls where we have encountered many hundreds of Dolphins in the past. It seems to be they are staking their claim to fish there post brexit or just don't give a damn about whose waters they are now! I pray to the gods the by-catch is small but i fear many Dolphins may die in their nets and many others displaced cliff.
