Six stranded dolphins, a pod of more than 20 getting distressed and into danger too, and a team of around 20 volunteers on land and on sea. Thankfully it all added up to a positive outcome in Cloghane, County Kerry yesterday. 

Common Dolphins are normally 'pelagic' which means they live and feed in deep water but have been coming in close to the coast more frequently.
