Dolphins at Roker

[jpgreenwood]

Went to catch sunrise at Roker Lighthouse, Sunderland and had the pleasure of catching several pods of dolphins. Never seen these in UK waters before.
Difficult to guess where they would pop up but had fun. A seal also came to join the party.

Looks like you had a great morning, i like your lighthouse photos in the other thread too.

Brilliant Quite common in UK waters, it's just they don't advertise where and when they're going to perform.

What a great surprise.

A Roker sunrise and the Dolphin pod, what a special morning.
Nice to see the Seal taking a photobomb part too.
Considering they are sporadic in surfacing, and often deviate away from a planned path, you did well to capture them.

Lovely to see some nice shots of them Jason, Ive been three times and haven't seen a flipper although a couple of friends have been luck
