Albert Tatlock Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 ...I hear David Christian also wants sharks fitted with frickin lasers to protect Douglas prom from unsuspecting dog walkers. What did I tell you... Herr Christian couldn't afford the Sharks with lasers...but he got a discount off Dr Evil for the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJW Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 No typo! the frickin things migrate down past our coastline en -masse every year ! En-masse??? No they don't. There's less than ½ dozen reliable records each year of Bottle-nosed Dolphin and the same number for Risso's Dolphin. The common cetacean in Manx waters is Harbour Porpoise.
