WATCH: dolphins video makes waves

A marine conservation charity has released footage of a pod of dolphins spotted off the Island's coast this week.

Peel-based Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch published the video on its website after Victoria McGoldrick spotted the bottlenose dolphins off Marine Drive in Douglas last Saturday.

She sent it to the organisation, which says they'd been seen near Groudle travelling south earlier that day.

The charity is appealing for people to send in any footage they have of marine wildlife, saying calm weather means ideal conditions for spotting animals at sea.
