## Resource

A YouTuber named Lloyd captured a heartwarming and rare encounter with a dolphin he’s dubbed “Derek,” who’s been visiting him regularly since 2024. Surfing alongside Derek on his efoil near the Forth Road Bridge, Lloyd was amazed by how the dolphin seems to know the waters better—steering him clear of shallow spots and even waiting for him in deeper areas. The video, filmed on Boxing Day 2025 but posted in June, has gone viral, with viewers calling it magical and beautiful, and many saying they couldn’t stop smiling while watching.
