A dolphin was spotted swimming in the River Thames in London on Thursday, August 1, with the unusual sighting surprising onlookers.

Footage filmed and posted to X by Steve Ormerod shows a lone dolphin swimming in the Thames near Hammersmith Bridge on Thursday. The UK Climate Centre expressed concern about the dolphin, adding that “sightings of the mammals are on the up, though experts say it’s a ‘red flag’ for them to be spotted this far inland.”
