Dolphin spotting season 🐬

Two species of dolphin are regular visitors to the Northumberland Coast – bottlenose dolphins and white-beaked dolphins.

Temperature, weather conditions, and food availability all influence their presence; but summer is often the best time to see them.

They can be spotted by scanning the sea from a high dune or outcrop. Calm sea conditions will increase your chances of a sighting.

A trip to the Farne Islands is recommended if pods of dolphins are in the area, and boat operators at Seahouses Harbour will often run special trips.

Good to know, as you’ll find them around our Northumberland coast 🪼

JELLYFISH - There has been lots of reports of jellyfish on our local beaches, this is normal at this time of year. Here is what we know............

There are six main species you can find in UK waters

The one you’re most likely to bump into is the moon jellyfish. These are the most common species and can grow to the size of a side plate. You can recognise them from the four circles visible inside the centre of the creature. Barrel jellyfish are the biggest species you’ll find in the waters around the UK and Ireland. They feed on plankton in deeper water but can drift into the shallows on the tide.

The lion’s mane jellyfish is one of the few types that can cause you damage. It gets its name from the thick layer of hair-like tentacles that ring its body. These tentacles can cause some serious pain if you come into contact with them.

A species that isn’t native to the UK and Ireland but sometimes finds its way here is the Portuguese man o’war, which has tentacles that can stretch over 30m. While not technically a jellyfish, they are often labelled as such. A sting from one of these can leave you in agony for several hours.

RNLI Lifeguards are trained to deal with stings, if you are at a non lifeguarded beach and you are concerned about a jellyfish sting please seek advice from the NHS.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
