Not many dolphin sightings this year so far. Here are two recent sightings for May.
On the 2 nd May, 2 bottlenose dolphins were observed off Selsey Bill, heading east.
On the 10 May, 1 bottlenose dolphin was observed heading west at Splash Point, Seaford Bay. There were numerous small silvery fish in the water which attracted a lot of attention from terns that made spectacular dives into the sea to catch them. This may also have been what attracted the dolphin.
The Sussex coastline is made up of a wide diversity of habitats rich in a wealth of fascinating wildlife. This blog represents a selection of some of my most interesting encounters and observations ranging from tide pool life to dolphins. Blog entries will be extracts from my work as a biological recorder and environmental educator.
