This is the delightful moment a marine biologist filmed a pod of dolphins swimming alongside her boat in Cornwall on her first day in the job.

The clip, filmed off the coast of Padstow on April 12, shows a pod of common dolphin playing alongside a boat and jumping up and down in the boat's current.

Filmer Robyn Samuel, a marine biologist and freediving instructor who works at Padstow Sealife Safari, was on her first day at work when she was greeted by the beautiful creatures.
