Pod of dolphins captured swimming around an Irish bay

This incredible video shows a massive pod of around 60 dolphins swimming round an Irish bay.Sean Molloy, 50, said he had seen the dolphins in the area for a few days and was determined to get them on camera.Then, on Sunday, he could see them swimming in the bay near his home in Co Mayo, Ireland.He quickly got his drone and followed the pod as they swam to the nearby Dooagh bay, and launched quickly enough to capture the whole pod swimming in the area.Sean, a professional drone pilot, said: "They've been there for a few days so I was expecting them.

I thought I'd go out with a drone to get them on film."It was only about a kilometre from my house and I could see them from there."There were three different pods, in one I counted 26 dolphins.

I'd say there was about 60 in total."Sean said the massive pod consisted of adult bottlenose dolphins and their calves, but he didn't know what they were doing in the area.He added: "They were there for a good while just swimming round in circles, they could have been feeding."I couldn't see any fish for them to eat, but there could have been smaller ones the drone didn't pick out."The video was filmed on Tuesday, April 28, at around 8pm.
