It’s always a treat to see an array of marine animals swimming near the Sunderland coast and today, June 24 crowds of people gathered as a seal and a dolphin made an appearance near Roker’s shore.
Dolphins and seals are often spotted along the North East coastline and a recent increase in the numbers sightings seems to be down to the warm weather in the region.
