Saturday 20 August 2016

So with nothing further to do after several more cups of coffee, a trip into town seemed in order, despite the first signs of rain!

Town was relatively quiet, with the usual folks going about their usual business.  After a trip to the supermarket for some necessary supplies, a drive to Bullock Island proved interesting and exciting.

As we watched, dolphins began feeding just inside the Entrance, slowly moving toward Bullock Island.  The birds were quick to spot a free meal and were soon flocking to the area, jostling for position as the Dolphins brought fish to the surface.  We estimated about six dolphins in all, and one seal also quick to get in on the feeding action. Unfortunately all too far away for photos, so I decided to simply enjoy the spectacle through the binoculars and not try to photograph any of it. 

A quick message to Lonsdale Eco Cruises that the dolphins were around, and we soon saw the mighty Lonsdale come into view and swing out to the Entrance for a look,  getting a bit of a ride on the outgoing tide as they watched the action.  Check their Facebook page via the link above, as I'm sure they will be posting photos when they are back in port later today.  By the way, I highly recommend a cruise aboard the Lonsdale, informative and great fun, and of course, Mel serves the best scones around, always served with a generous dollop of cream!
