Re: "Unprecedented" increase in Irish Dolphin, Porpoise & Whale strandings
Interesting report of a large pod of dolphins (250-500 individuals) off the Eastern Coast in January.;
"Although dolphin sightings are traditionally more common in warmer months, Mr Benson says Sea Trust has been spotting them all year round since about 2009.
Mr Benson added: "We would expect to see some nowadays in the winter, but this was just mind-blowing.""
Footage of a superpod of hundreds of dolphins has been captured by marine biologists on board the Rosslare to Fishguard ferry.
One wonders if climate change is causing a shift in behavior.Twitter: @RonanKelly13
