A pod of playful dolphins was spotted having fun off Portland.
These pictures were taken by Weymouth Bay Rib Charter, who snapped several pictures of the group leaping out of the sea and porpoising alongside their vessel.
A spokesman for the company said the photos were taken on a trip out last February, near Church Ope Cove. But they posted them on social media this weekend 'for the dolphin admirers'. The post was shared more than 140 times.
