Dead Dolphin washed up.

The decaying body of what is believed to be a bottlenose dolphin was washed up on the North Cornish coast at Fistral beach recently.  Marine conservation officer for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Joana Doyle, commented in the press,"We believe there is only one local pod of inshore bottlenose dolphins.  In 1991 there were 18 of them.  Sightings last year say there were just six.  It may have been caught in nets and that is very worrying for their future in this area".

First Pod Sighted

A recent trip to Trevose and back ended with an amazing show of dolphins playing in our wake off Fistral beach, Newquay.  About thirty common dolphins were spotted by the skipper and passengers, staying near the boat for around half an hour before moving up the coast to richer feeding grounds.  This is the first sighting of dolphins at such closed proximity for us on the north coast this year.
