A group of Risso's dolphins was observed this Sunday in the bay of Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor), near the port of Erquy.
The animals were spotted and immortalized in photos by fishermen disappointed to have caught few fish.
As a consolation, they were surprised to discover several cetaceans around their boat on returning to port.
The largest group of dolphins in Europe
Sea trips are increasing with the return of good weather.
Encounters with dolphins will therefore be more and more frequent, analyzes

.
It is in the bay of Saint-Brieuc that we find the largest population of settled bottlenose dolphins in Europe.
The most impressive shots of these animals are most often taken off the Grand Site Cap d'Erquy - Cap Fréhel.
It is not uncommon for dolphins to approach the boats of boaters or fishermen, as was the case this Sunday.
