Daniel, 33, said: "Recently myself and a couple of friends decided to take up a new hobby and bought paddle boards. We have been out in the sea at Roker Beach a couple of times now but yesterday (September 31) we noticed some big splashes in the water just off the marina.

"We decided to move in closer to investigate and to our surprise it was a dolphin. We couldn't believe our eyes as it swam close up to us and appeared to regurgitate a whole fish."
