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.

At one point on the Baja trip we were surrounded by a superpod of Long-beaked Common Dolphins (Delphinus capensis). We estimated about 3000 individuals that made the sea effervesce as far as they eye could see in all directions. When I looked down there were dozens of them riding the bow and they remained with us for at least half an hour. Most were just rising out of the water en masse but a few individuals leapt clear of the water, like this one at the front.
We have Common Dolphins in British waters but this is a different species; Delphinus delphis that has a shorter beak and a kinder looking face. Long-beaked Common Dolphins are only found in warmer waters around the tropics. But both species have the hourglass markings on the flanks.

What happens when a dolphin meets Photoshop polar coordinates. You can make it jump itself in a curious kind of way. It takes a few steps to make these so I created an action which will let me unleash more on my friends :) Just let me know if you don't like them and I will desist!

Capturing a dolphin in mid-jump was very challenging, but they gave me the opportunity when they kept racing alongside the boat playfully. I set the zoom lens to 100mm (as little as possible) to increase the field of view. I then tried timing a series of bursts, anticipating when they would jump. A little luck and a little skill combined to give me this awesome image. The spray off the boat, visible as white dots in the lower right, only added to the feeling of the image. Atlantic Ocean, about 30 miles west of Cape Town, South Africa
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...
We saw several large pods of dolphins in the Chesapeake Bay last week. Composite of dolphins from the bay and the dock area.
Common Dolphins are usually uncommon in Monterey Bay but this is an El Niño year with warmer waters than usual, and there are thousands of them further north than usual. This is the rarer oceanic form that used to be known as Long-beaked Common Dolphin but DNA studies of the various populations have shown that they are not a genetically distinct species, but that each long-beaked population is most closely related to their nearest population of Short-beaked Common Dolphins. I thought that the head of this leaping Dolphin stood out well against the splash of a recently-dived Dolphin.
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.
