Police have appealed for help to identify two men suspected of disturbing a pod of bottlenose dolphins at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour.

The two men were on sea scooters - one red and white, the other green and black - on Wednesday 2 June at about 1600 BST.

Police said it was a warm and sunny day and the area would have been busy.

Wildlife crime officer Dave MacKinnon said legislation protected dolphins from harassment.
