Watch: A family of dolphins play with kayakers off West Cork
A pod of dolphins took to the waters of West Cork this weekend.
The water was turquoise and the sky a deep blue - on Saturday the coast of West Cork could have been any Mediterranean county. And it seems that a pod of dolphins agree, who took to the water in search of playmates.
Common Dolphin with kayakers, Saturday morning, off Long Strand, #WestCork. Well worth a 1.5min watch! Big screen best. Watch out for the mother & calf pair. Enjoy!#Cork #Ireland #WildAtlanticWay @theskibeagle @CiaraRevins @Corks96FM @irishexaminer @CorksRedFM @Independent_ie pic.twitter.com/FnM8JirePP

Photographer Dan Lettice was on hand with his drone to capture this spectacular footage of a family of dolphins skipping through the water in between three kayakers. The footage was taken off Long Strand near Clonakilty; a spot well known for spotting dolphins during the warmer months.
Be sure to watch to the end - Dan says if you look carefully you can make out a mother dolphin and her calf.
