Risso's dolphins spotted near Calf of Man

General Muck

The Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch has reported sightings of around 10 adult Risso’s dolphins near to the Calf of Man over the last two days.

One of the dolphins that was spotted was General Muck - a regular visitor to Manx Shores – who could be identified by the scarring pattern on his right fin. 

According to the wildlife organisation, Risso’s dolphins are usually spotted between Onchan and Marine Drive at this time of year but have been seen near to the Calf due to a change in habitats. 

Tom Felce from the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch told 3FM that the dolphins could easily be spotted from shore:
