A resident wild bottlenose dolphin at the Isle of Portland, near Weymouth.

Screencaps from a video I took as this huge bottlenose decided it wanted to say hello.

This is the first time I've seen a bottlenose in person and for it to decide to swim right over to me was magical.

Last year was the first time I saw orca in the wild. From great distance, I watched 062 Hulk and 155 Knott breathe across the horizon. This year, I woke up to find the 169s in a pool of sunlight right outside my hotel window. They were moving as if at play. An incredible moment. #OrcaWatch2025
