Richard Priest, 32, and his wife Serena, 41, were strolling along the edge of River Nene in their home town of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, when they spotted a fin in the water.
In footage filmed by Mr Priest on August 23, a dolphin can be seen gliding along the surface of the river.
'I was going for a walk with my wife and just by luck, I saw a big ripple in the river, then the dolphin fin popped out the water.
'I thought it was strange and the dolphin must be lost as I have never known a dolphin to be in the river so I reported it to Sea Watch Foundation who were very surprised.'

Last month, a two-year-old boy had sustained severe wounds on his face after a stray dog attacked him in Gulzar Colony area of Karachi. Narrating the entire incident, the father of the victim, Kaleem Ullah, said a stray dog attacked his child a day back, inflicting severe injuries on his face.
"My child was attacked by a stray dog. If he loses his eye injured in the attack then who will be responsible?" asked the father as he pleaded to the authorities to bear the expense of the child's treatment.
A Missouri angler says he was attacked by a muskie recently while fighting a bass from his kayak.
Zach Reynolds, 28, told St. Louis Today that the bite from the muskie, as he dangled his feet overboard, left his foot bloodied and with a V-shaped row of punctures.
"It was so hot it was burning the tops of my feet, so I had them in the water as I was reeling in that bass," Reynolds explained. "I was still reeling when something hit the top of my left foot. I pulled my foot up and there was blood all over it."
Reynolds, who was prepping for last weekend's Mo-Yak Fishing Series event on Pom de Terre Lake in southwest Missouri, said he saw the muskie dash into the murky depths and estimated the fish to measure perhaps 30 inches.

The carcass of a female blue whale washed ashore on Valinokkam Beach here on Sunday morning. Residents spotted the carcass, in an advanced stage of decomposition, around 6.30 am and alerted a party of patrolling forest officials. The 20.2-metre-long whale was aged about 4-5 years and weighed around 7-8 tonnes, said Keelakarai Forest Ranger S Sikkandar Batcha. Since the carcass was about a month old, the cause of death or the presence of any injury could not be ascertained, he added. After a postmortem examination, the carcass was buried on the shore later in the evening.
