Earlier this week we reported that food blogger Poppy Everitt filmed a marine mammal cruising past her workplace at North Brink in Wisbech.
The mobile phone footage shows a finned black silhouette swim through the brown River Nene, popping up out of the water for less than a second.
Now, fellow resident Richard Priest has provided a closer and clearer look at the ‘dolphin’ which can be seen spraying water into the air.

Some people on social media are still not convinced, with one person claiming it is a seal and that they “come up and down the river occasionally”.

“They have seen the video and confirmed this is highly likely a dolphin and not a porpoise due to the fin shape and size.
