According to Seapoint resident Arthur Reynolds, the bottlenose dolphins were possibly driving whiting fry into shallower water, and that their presence indicates warmer weather and sea temperatures.
IWDG spokesman Simon Berrow said more sightings were expected and urged people to be on the look-out. Mr Berrow also said he had eyewitness reports of up to 13 dolphins, and that they remained in the bay until around noon, 'giving watchers a great display of aerial acrobatics'.
