Bottlenose dolphins off Brighton

A large group of bottlenose dolphins were reported 12 miles off Brighton. The sighting, that appeared on the news was made by Mr Lambert, who was fishing 12 miles off the Brighton coast when the dolphins appeared.

He said

"I have seen dolphins four times off Brighton, and twice this year.

"These were the biggest dolphins I've seen off Brighton."

The dolphins played around the vessel occasionally leaping out of the water near the boat.

The group was said to contain 70 dolphins, even allowing for an over estimation (which is common) this was still a large group.
