This is the moment a pod of dolphins enjoyed a feeding frenzy off the Cornish coast.<br /><br />Sea life enthusiast Peter Nasan, 37, saw around 11 pods of Common Dolphins in St Ives Bay whilst out on the harbour.<br /><br />The dolphins were chasing small shoaling fish into tight balls of bait before having what's described as a 'feeding frenzy'.<br /><br />This is where an aggressive or competitive group attack on its prey in large numbers - attracting others to then join. <br /><br />In the videos you can see the dolphins gliding through the water, circling an area of the sea in which they are thought to be rounding up their prey<br /><br />A few days later, eagle eyed Peter also snapped other photographs of a pair of rarer Bottlenose Dolphins swimming in the bay, along with a Minke Whale <br /><br />Peter, a volunteer at St Ives National Coastwatch Institution, said: "I reckon there were about 200 to 300 dolphins in total who were all feeding on this school of fish.<br /><br />"It looked like every dolphin pod from across the bay had raced across the water to join the feeding frenzy.<br /><br />"I got some amazing footage which I'm happy to be sharing with nature lovers across the world."<br /><br />The footage was taken between the January 18 - 21.
