The first of the seasonal visitors to Manx waters made an appearance at the end of last week.

Risso's Dolphins were spotted off Marine Drive, the good weather and calm conditions of late have been enticing them slightly earlier than usual.

It’s estimated that the basking sharks won’t show up for at least another month, although there have already been early sightings off Cornwall.

The good weather has seen a surge in people taking to the water in their kayaks; the Manx Wildlife Trust have asked that people refrain from approaching any sea life they may come across.
