We were lucky enough to spot the South West’s resident inshore pod of bottlenose dolphins yesterday from the cliffs of Porthcurno, Cornwall, Whilst out on our daily walk.
The inshore group is thought to consist of thirty six animals but it looks like this could be growing, look carefully, is that a mum and calf? They don’t normally venture into water deeper than fifty meters. The pod’s range extends from Dorset on the south coast to the north coast of Cornwall and is the only inshore community of Bottlenose Dolphins in England.
If you spot marine wildlife whilst you are out and about you can submit sightings on the Cornwall Wildlife Trusts reporting portal in the link below. Your records will help in the understanding of the natural history of Cornwall
