A bottlenose dolphin has been delighting sailors in the Solent by following boats and entertaining crowds.
The dolphin was first seen by skipper Colin Bunday in the middle of the channel but quickly started following his motoryacht.
The quick thinking boat owner managed to grab his camera and film the animal while it followed his boat for more than 15-mintues.
He said: "We did a circle in the boat and it started jumping out of the boat's wake and we could see it clearly swimming under the bow.
"It was playing with the boat for about 15-minutes and then it disappeared."
To see more of the dolphin, which Mr Bunday has nicknamed 'Fred', log on to the Daily Echo's video news page.
