A large pod of dolphins has been captured on camera swimming off the North Devon coast.

She wrote: "Common Dolphin Frenzy on the way back from Lundy today. They just kept arriving, must have been 50-100 individuals."

Dr Sheehan was returning from Lundy Island where she was studying marine protected areas and no-take zones when she found herself surrounded by the impressive pod of dolphins.
