Using data gathered from a large number of collaborators between 2007 and 2016, Rebecca Dudley, currently pursuing an MRes at the University of Plymouth, has been analysing sightings and photographs of dolphins in the southwest region of the country and has been able to identify 98 individuals ...
For a long time we've known their Celtic cousins – the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay in Wales, or the same leaping species of Spey Bay near Inverness (where I'm convinced they've grown so huge – up to a whale-like 12 feet long – by sitting at the mouth of the salmon-rich river with their mouths ...
The notion of a new tribe of dolphins being identified off the English coast is enough to make anyone's heart leap. For a long time we've known their Celtic cousins – the bottlenose dolphins of Cardigan Bay in Wales, or the same leaping species of Spey Bay near Inverness (where I'm convinced they've ...

The gang live in Cornwall, where researchers identified 98 individual dolphins including a group of 28 who lived there all year round. Experts analysed thousands of sightings and photographs from the south west of England between 2007 and 2016. These dolphins were present in shallow coastal ...
The county of Cornwall, in southwest England, is known for the dolphins that can sometimes be spotted riding tall waves alongside surfers. Records suggest that at least 17 different species of cetaceans frequent the area—including bottlenose dolphins. What wasn't clear, however, was whether these ...
A pod of 28 bottlenose dolphins is found to be permanently living off the south-west coast of England.
Porpoise Pod Residing Year-round Off Shore Of England. The at first inhabitant pod of bottlenose dolphins has been found off the southward-west shore of England. Expert utilized thousands of sightings and photos to identification a team of 28 individuals residing year-round off the coasts of Cornwall, ...
Rebecca Dudley, an MRes student at the University of Plymouth, has been working with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust and analysing sightings and photographs of dolphins in the South West.
The first resident pod of bottlenose dolphins has been discovered off the south-west coast of England. Experts used thousands of sightings and photos to identify a group of 28 individuals living year-round off the coasts of Cornwall, Devon and Dorset.

Bottlenose dolphins can be recognised by their dorsal fin, which has a distinctive shape and markings. A dorsal fin is as unique to an individual dolphin as a fingerprint is to a human. The trailing edge of the fin is most commonly used to identify a dolphin as it is the most distinguishable area.
The first English dolphins have been discovered off the coast of Cornwall. Scientists have confirmed that a small pod of dolphins which were studied in the Cornish waters remained in Britain all year round, while most other species of dolphins usually travel to the Bay of Biscay throughout the year.

A group of 28 dolphins has been found to be living off the coast of England all year round - the country's only resident population - and they split their time between swimming off Devon and swimming off Cornwall. Devon experts analysed thousands of sightings and photographs from the south west of ...
A dorsal fin is as unique to an individual dolphin as a fingerprint is to a human. The trailing edge of the fin is most commonly used to identify a dolphin as it is the most distinguishable area. This is because it is susceptible to tearing and, once torn, the tissue does not regenerate, causing permanent ...
The trailing edge of the fin is most commonly used to identify a dolphin as it is the most distinguishable area. This is because it is susceptible to tearing and, once torn, the tissue does not regenerate, causing permanent notches. The project identified a further 70 of the dolphins which spend at least some ...
The trailing edge of the fin is most commonly used to identify a dolphin as it is the most distinguishable area. This is because it is susceptible to tearing and, once torn, the tissue does not regenerate, causing permanent notches. The dolphins were seen along the south-west coastline but appeared to be ...
Bottlenose dolphins have been discovered living permanently off the Cornish coast. The 28 dolphins are the first resident population of the species confirmed to be living in English waters. It may result in measures to protect the animals, which can leap 16 feet out of the water and perform complex tricks.
The first English dolphins have been discovered off the coast of Cornwall, with scientists confirming that a small pod is entirely native to southern shores. Cornwall is famed for its dolphin populations which can often be seen riding the waves alongside surfers, and leaping from the sea to greet tourist ...
