    WATCH: Island's dolphin duo dine in style

    The Island's resident dolphins may have created their own feeding technique. 

    Moonlight has been spotted looking like she's using shallow, sandy coastlines to swim along the seabed in tight circles to create sand rings to trap fish.

    Dolphins in Florida and the Caribbean are known to use a similar method using mud, but the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch suspect she has cleverly developed the technique on her own to tackle the problems faced by hunting alone with her calf.  

    It appears that Starlight - who will be two in September - has been observing, but may take a few years to learn the ropes. 

    The duo were spotted demonstrating the feeding technique, which can be seen in the video below:
