A POD of dolphins delighted a family as they swam alongside their boat off Hengistbury Head.

The group of around 15 bottlenose dolphins were seen yesterday afternoon by Jim Longman from his Boston Whaler, who sent us in these pictures.

And Mike Jailler sent us this footage of some dolphins joining two paddleboarders at Southbourne this morning.

Do you have photos or video footage of dolphins? Send them to us here  - although please note that it can be an offence to harrass dolphins by approaching or chasing them in order, so please, film from a distance unless they approach you!

You can see more footage sent in by a reader on our Facebook page.
