White-beaked Dolphin swimming past OK, I know that this isn't a great image, but I had never heard of these before we saw some on an Orca-watching boat tour in Iceland in the winter. Apparently they are not uncommon off the coast of the UK, but I don't find many pictures or much information about them, so I thought it would be good to have one on JD.

    It is always great to have a new species here, no matter the quality of the photo. Mammals especially. Lucky you to have even sighted one of these. Posted 8 years ago
