Porpoising Dolphin ~ Gulf of Mexico ~ Clearwater Beach, Florida

In 2015 we went to the Niue Island in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. The island is small, you can literally drive around it in 30 minutes. But what is unique is that just around 50 m from the shore the ocean goes very deep - up to 300 m. Therefore you can see whales and dolphins a lot - right from the window of you motel, or from a restaurant deck. We went to swim with dolphins and it was a remarkable experience. The picture is from my small Canon camera - therefore not extremely high quality.
Dolphin Beach can usually be spotted from a fair distance away by the colourful kites that are being flown above it.
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.

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.

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...
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
First day out sailing this season and we were met by a pod of dolphins, we can now recognise a few of the group as locals as they have distinctive markings so it was wonderful to meet up with them today all looking healthy after a long and stormy winter here in North Wales. A youngster was spotted with Mother but I didn't manage to photograph them as it was a very misty morning to begin. The pod appeared delighted to have us back in the water as we left the harbour entrance and put sails up they raced over to follow us and played around the bow as we sailed at 6-8 knots upwind with the yacht bouncing through the gentle swell.
Ganges river dolphin - Platanista gangetica, photographed at the downstream side of Koshi Barrage, Nepal. The area of bubbles on the service infromt and above the Dolphin are the footstep of a younger Dolphin, possibly the calf of this one.
Whilst working the Sea Safari boat out of Teignmouth this morning we chanced upon a small pod of Short Beaked Common Dolphins. On seeing us they started slow swimming and spy hoping. Spy hoping is when the dolphin comes out of the water and holds itself briefly to see whats around. Luckily i had my camera to hand to bag a few profile shots. The scratches on her flank are from the teeth of other dolphins.
Paraphrased from wikipedia:
The Burrunan dolphin (Tursiops australis) is a species of bottlenose dolphin found in parts of Victoria, Australia. It was recognised as a species only in 2011. By size, the Burrunan dolphin is between the other two species of bottlenose dolphin There are only two resident populations of the Burrunan dolphin; one in Port Phillip and these ones from the Gippsland Lakes. Their combined population has been estimated as about 150 dolphins (100 in Port Phillip and 50 in Gippsland).
The dolphin's common name, Burrunan, is an Aboriginal name in the Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung and Taungurung languages, meaning "large sea fish of the porpoise kind".
