An Aberdeen tour operator has been left shocked after capturing a 'golden shot' of a pod of dolphins playing with an unsuspecting windsurfer. Ricky Greenhowe who runs Aberdeen Harbour Tours, had been out with a group on Saturday watching a pod of dolphins when he began filming a windsurfer.
The skipper was left shocked after noticing that two of the cheeky dolphins had decided to knock them off of their board. Ricky, who has been running the tour for six years, said it was the first time he managed to capture such an incident on camera.

He added: "I see the dolphins get up to nonsense all the time. Everyone is oblivious to what's going on, I don't think the windsurfer even noticed it was the dolphins.
