It was a great day to be out with our volunteers, and Birdlife Australia volunteers for our 158 Survey.
We came across a pod of Common Dolphins that were were travelling at there normal speed ... pocket rockets. It is still astounding how fast and agile these species of dolphins are.
We also came across a pod of Bottlenose ... I think we interfered with there feeding time as they were spending a lot of time under the water and seemed to be moving over a large area.
Thanks to everyone involved with this survey and THE BIG DUCK BOAT TOURS Alex, Jesse and Jessica for a great morning out on the water.
