Concerns were growing yesterday (Tues) for a dolphin which has swum 50 miles inland along a tidal river. The bottlenose dolphin - the most common breed spotted in British waters - has ventured up the Bristol Channel and into the River Severn. It has been photographed frolicking in the water as far inland as Stonebench and Elmore West near Gloucester. Experts say it has probably followed fish upstream during high tides but there are fears it could get stuck if it ventures any further.
