Hello #Bluesky 👋.

I’m an Ocean enthusiast, dog lover, and mum of one (👦🏻).

Working on marine conservation in Cardigan Bay, bottlenose dolphins, photo-ID, acoustics & diet data, currently hoping to snag some dolphin poop for science!

Excited to connect with fellow ocean lovers! 🌊🐬💙

A large adult bottlenose dolphin re-entering the water after a leap through the air. Only the dolphins rostrum is in the water!
The dolphin has a well marked dorsal fin, markings used to identify it. The dolphin also has patches of skin lesions over it’s head and others parts of the body.
