\nThis morning we had the chance to go out to sea on one of our zodiac boats. The weather was a bit crisp and the sea slightly choppy, but we had a fun ride and after some searching we encountered a nice group of bottlenose dolphins<\/a>. It was the same group of individuals that we saw on our last tour last week as we could recognise some of the individuals including one with a bent dorsal fin who we call “Kinky” and one with a broken jaw. After a nice time with the bottlenose dolphins we went further inshore to search for common dolphins<\/a>. They were very spread out but in the end we found a common dolphin<\/a> feeding together with a small group of gulls, in an area where there was also a fishing boat. The boats, dolphins and birds were all hunting mackerel<\/a> close to shore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
