Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.

The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.

Customers on the wee boat trip from Avoch get a chance for some photos of the dolphins in the water just off Chanonry point.
In dophin jumping skill I think this one scored close to a 10! We had watched a sperm whale catching its breath after a deep dive for 45 minutes then found a dolphin school. Seen from a Whale Watch boat off Kaikoura, a small town on the East coast in the north of NZ's South Island.
We are on holiday on our way to spend time with family. Internet time is limited but I will try to visit some friends.
Seen from the shore at Richardson Beach Park, Kalanianaole Ave, Hilo, Island of Hawaii [Big Island], Hawaii.
Info: A group of dolphins is called a pod. A pod usually is formed of around 12 dolphins, and it is the usual social group of dolphins. > www.dolphins-world.com/what-is-a-group-of-dolphins-called/
Had an amazing experience encountering a superpod of thousands of Northern Right Whale Dolphins and Pacific White-Sided Dolphins grouped together in Monterey Bay, CA.
The dolphin breached the water with a corkscrew twist to give additional height. It reached about 5m clear of the water, just avoiding a belly flop on landing! All this with the Ceredigion coastline in the background. A fabulous encounter...

The Spinner Dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a small dolphin found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which they spin longitudinally along their axis as they leap through the air.
Two dolphins coast in the bow wave of the boat as we were going through the fjords of the South Island of New Zealand. I've only swum with wild dolphins once... that was in Hawaii. We swam out about a mile into the ocean where we saw them jumping and having fun... I swam and dove with them for about an hour... They were all totally peaceful and I never felt nervous, even though I was in awe. One of them was even pregnant... was hoping to see it give birth or something! But that didn't happen... but it would have been awesome to see that in the wild.
Old relics of the D-Day build up on the South Coast of the UK. Known locally as the Dolphins. There are other traces of the build up to be seen. Was a hive of activity here in the spring of 1944.
This dolphin came up and had a look what i was doing, then it swam back to its mate in the Mandurah estuary.
