These stunning photographs of dolphins were taken yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, July 30) from a boat off the coast of Exmouth.

Local resident Mark Keilty was out on the water with his daughter Issy and her friend Martha at about 5pm. They had heard about dolphin sightings in the area and, when they saw fins gliding in and out of the sea off the safe water buoy, they went for a closer look.

Mark said: "Both girls got some cracking photos and here are a couple which I hope can be shared to show the beautiful creatures that live in our waters. They just love swimming and playing under and around the boat."
