A “magical” superpod of hundreds of dolphins has been spotted off the coast of Sussex.
More than 500 dolphins were spotted swimming and leaping out of the water ten miles from Eastbourne.
The natural phenomenon was spotted and filmed by a fisherman and is believed to only happen once a year.
Jake Davidson, 27, who filmed the dolphins, said: "It’s quite a rare sighting to see common dolphins in this part of the UK and especially in the numbers we saw.
"We saw huge amounts of dolphins jumping, chasing and swimming together and before we knew it we were in the middle of the pod.
