Massive pod of short-beaked common dolphins in Moray Firth
A pod of around 400 short-beaked common dolphins have been seen in the Moray Firth, which is better known for bottlenose dolphins. This is much further north than they would normally be found. Scientists at EarthWatch are claiming that this is further evidence of global warming causing animals to move beyond their normal range.
I saw large pods of dolphins in New Zealand several years ago which were very impressive, but nothing as big as this.
