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.
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.

A friend took us for a boat ride while in Florida and these beauties followed along for a while.
After the encounter, I discovered that somehow while on the boat my camera got switched to a black and white setting. Thankfully, the other settings were quick enough to catch some of the action.
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.
Porvenir, Chile. Another bird that I was anxious to see when in Patagonia. These gulls, with their bright orange bills and legs, are transfixing. Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback.
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/
On the way out to photograph whooping cranes we saw this dolphin out in the bay. This group didin't seem to be very playful, and we only saw one surface this once.

Dolphin rock at sunrise on the Sunshine Coast QLD. I have been chasing this shot for a while now where a nice sunrise aligns with high tide. Was finally successful last week. Instagram @glensinclair_photography

There were more than two. Taken around sunset, at the Santa Monica Pier. Yes, at first I thought they were sharks when I first saw the fins, then they started jumping in sync and only then I realized they were dolphins.
I've been experimenting with using a longer lens with the dolphins. Absolutely useless for action shots, but great for slower-paced stuff and detail shots.
Dolphin wave jumping at North Stradbroke island. It looks to me like an Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus); any dolphin identification experts out there? Queensland, Australia

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.
Gulf Shores, Alabama
This was a blast! I must say it was a challenge to capture these dolphins...The trip was almost over before I got a shot..
(Brody trip 2015)
Thanks everyone for the views, comments, and favs or Thanks for just stopping by!
This dolphin came up and had a look what i was doing, then it swam back to its mate in the Mandurah estuary.
Dolphin Watch
My work Christmas Function this year consisted of a ferry trip down to Port Arlington, Wine and Food tasting before being picked up by Sea All Dolphin Swims to do some Dolphin, Seal and other wildlife watching at the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Reserve. The entire trip was fantastic and the team at the Sea All Dolphin Swim company in Queenscliff, Victoria, Australia were incredible showing us around and finding the dolphins. This image was one of the Dolphins (from a pod of about 6) which were following the boat, I will post more photos I got later on but it was well worth the trip and a fantastic experience. Next time I will try for a Dolphin Swim :) and Bring my Polarizer...
