More wonderful footage from Strangford, Co. Down early yesterday morning Thurs. 30th March, of the pair of bottlenose dolphins that have been in the area since March 25th. They are being reported around the Narrows and Portaferry areas in recent days. IWDG has also validated bottlenose dolphin sightings from further afield, in places such as Ballygally, Glenarm and Ballycastle areas; so they are definitely a species worth watching out for in the area over the coming Easter holiday period. Our suggestion as always is to watch them from the safety of the shore to minimise the potential for disturbance. Any of the footage we've seen suggests they are often within metres of the shoreline, so there should be no need for people to take boats out to view them. This is a rare opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts in the area to watch cetaceans with ease from the shore. Enjoy!![]()

As always we really appreciate Citizen Scientists reporting such sightings to IWDG on www.iwdg.ie or our Reporting App , as this will help us track their movements over time. Useful images of their dorsal fins can help us confirm whether or not this pair of bottlenose are known to the Irish Coastal Bottlenose Catalogue..![]()
