Dolphin seeking human friendship

A lone dolphin is making friends with sailors and lifeboat crews around the south-west of England.

The dolphin, named Findol after a children's book character, was pictured playing with the Penlee lifeboat crew this week off the Cornish coast.

It is believed to be the same creature that was seen playing among boats in Plymouth Sound earlier this month.

Dolphins usually travel in large "pods" but Findol seems to have been rejected and is swimming alone.
