A pod of dolphins have been caught on camera off the Dorset coast cutting through the waves.
Anya Parkhouse shot the footage from a boat at the weekend as the dolphins made their way alongside it.
She she saw around 30 dolphins near Hengistbury Head on Sunday afternoon.
Michael said: "I was about a mile out, probably opposite Boscombe, and I saw this pod of dolphins. I’ve never seen dolphins like this before and I’ve been sailing a long time.
“I moved closer and closer and eventually they went around me, under me, alongside. I followed them all the way along Poole Bay into Poole, for the best part of an hour."
Earlier this year a solitary dolphin famous for travelling long distances was spotted near the Dorset coast.
Photos and videos capturing the bottlenose dolphin, believed to be Clet, were taken off Portland.
