I blew the cobwebs away with a walk on the coast path today. As I sat down on the clifftop to eat my lunch, a dolphin leapt out of the water below…then another and another. I was treated to almost an hour of free dolphin watching. I settled down with my bins and a sausage roll and enjoyed the show. A truly special encounter. I even managed to film a fair bit on my camera. Here’s a short snippet.

A 13 second video clip of two dolphins leaping out of the sea, an adult and calf almost synchronised. They come back up to the surface a couple of times, blowing out which can be heard

More footage of the pod and a seal looking on.

Another video clip, 19 seconds, showing a number of dolphins leaping and rolling about at the surface. Behind them a seal pops their head up out of the water to watch.

And a chough!

A photo of a chough, a large black bird with a long red bill that curves downwards and red legs. Their bill is partly open in a caw. They are standing in a grass field with yellow flowers.

A landscape photo of a cliff top path, red-brown bracken on the slope above a rocky coastline which leads to a narrow headland that juts out into the blue and turquoise sea on the right. The sky is cloudy but a chink of blue is peeping through.

Another view of the coastline in the opposite direction with the sea on the left. Hazy mountains on the horizon as the wide bay curves around to the left. In the foreground the cliffs drop to a cove with a rock stack.
