    Anyone see the dolphin that is entettaining the crowds in Salthill this week?

    They are calling him Salty. There were scores of people watching him yesterday, just opposite Western House.

    If I PM you my number could you give me a shout the next time he's about?! Could cycle out for a snorkel with an u/w camera!

    LOL. Oh, you caught me there. I figured that if I spread a rumour that there is a dolphin in Salthill, tens of thousands of people would flock to Galway.

    Any more sightings? Raging I missed this. Yeah he prob came in temporarily for food and has headed back out again. Shame. People who saw it can count themselves lucky. Did anyone get a chance to go out with a mask?

    If you're that desperate to see a dolphin, you often see shoals of them in Kilkee and along the coast of Clare.

    Ah no I see those ones in Clare now and then (must go down again soon to see if that Dusty is still there) - just convenient and exciting that it was in Salthill. Probably not an 'interactive' type dolphin anyway, just a temp visit following in the fish.
