Team Sea Trust: Bottles off the breakwater

Bottlenoses (Tursiops truncatus) photographed off the outer breakwater here in Goodwick last Wednesday by our Sea Trust team 🐬🌊 We believe that they are displaying potential mating behaviour here, with the below images highlighting playful, flirty courtship displays like chasing, repeated breaching and body-slamming, and rolling over each other and exposing their underbellies.
