Dolphins On Visit To Outer Firth Of Forth Off The Coat Of East Neuk Of Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K wildlife camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of Dolphins swimming in the sea on visit and trip to the Outer Firth of Forth off the coast of East Neuk of Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. On boat trips from Anstruther on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife, to the Isle of May, you might experience dolphin sightings. Dolphins search for food primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication, including squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body movements, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water surface. Bottlenose dolphins are perhaps the best-known cetaceans found around Scotland. They can be seen close inshore on both the east and west coasts, but are spotted less often on the north coast and in the Northern Isles. Dolphins tend to be summer visitors to Scotland, and are mainly recorded here between May and October, when food is most abundant. They can sometimes be seen in large schools and are highly acrobatic, often leaping clear of the water. The Moray Firth supports the North Sea’s only known resident population of bottlenose dolphins. This small population of about 195 animals ranges throughout the Moray Firth and down the east coast, at least as far as the Firth of Forth off the coast of Fife.
