The cause of a feeding frenzy just off the cliffs.

Suggesting Common Dolphin over Bottle nosed Dolphin due to the colouration. Fairly consistent across the representative photos and my memory from some reproductive biology research many years ago.

Foreground animal appears more Seal like. Not sure on that one.

This sighting was actually for the small fish which the dolphin and seal and other creatures were all gathering to feed on.
