A
pod of more than 100 bottlenose dolphins has been spotted off the coast of the
Isle of Man, according to the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch.
The
group has received numerous sightings of the dolphins from both the east and
west coasts of the island.
Tom
Felce, of the group, said: "They are a magnificent sight."
Common
bottlenose dolphins are widespread, except in polar waters. They are extremely
sociable and sometimes hunt their prey in teams.
The
dolphins normally visit Manx waters between October and March to feed on
herring, mackerel and whiting.
Mr
Felce added: "The group sizes tend to be relatively ginormous. So if they
are here you can't miss them.
'Extraordinary
creatures'
"They
are very, very active and create a huge amount of white water. They leap all
over the place. So sightings will be magnificent.
