'BYE' - an inquisitive bottlenose dolphin on the way down
I was out whale watching when a pod of bottlenose dolphins stole the show. They stayed with the boat for about half an hour darting all around and under the boat. I was mesmerised to see all this activity so close. At one point this dolphin did a 'vertical' - coming straight up, looking to see who was on the boat and then went back down. It took my breath away. This image captures the dolphin just before going under the surface.
