A pod of bottlenose dolphins were caught on camera frolicking on the River Clyde at the weekend. Locals in Greenock and Helensburgh observed the playful group of between 10-20 dolphins in the Firth of Clyde throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday.

Footage shows the mammals breaching the water and flying into the air, much to the delight of people watching from the coast and in small boats.

Amateur photographer Fiona Cook said the pod had been regulars in the area for the last few years. She admitted that they can be hard to spot at times but put on “an incredible spectacle” when they are playing.
