We sent the plane up yesterday to spot the whales along the coast, 3 pairs were spotted with adult males close nearby. One pair was seen playing in the brackish water flowing from the mouth. Today we have a mother and calf at Boettcher Rd, another great day for photos.
Our crew member Rupert took this fantastic shot on his phone of a whale breach while out on the Big Duck Boat today. The whales were mainly concentrated around Miami Pde, Middleton to Basham Beach today. 3 sets of cows and calves.
Whales along the entire coast today, a bunch near Granite Island and the Causeway, more over closer to the Victor Harbor Yacht Club, a lone whales by Pullen Island and 3 Mother and calves at Bashams Beach. Great news for all avid whale watchers. Today's photo was an entry in todays Whale Comp by Claire Rees, taken today at 2:30
Great sightings and conditions on yesterday's cruise, a Southern Right Whale popped up right next to us!
Another Sunfish swimming in the glassy waters of Victor Harbor today, fantastic to see these new visitors to our waters... we also had 2 Southern Right Whales in the region near Port Elliot / Middleton (no photos avail)
While we have had early sightings of traveling Humpback whales yesterday today was another Sunfish day, fantastic to have a few in the last week, when we previously had not seen any. No photos from today as the overcast light was awkward. We went through last years notes, activity along the coast should be increasing very soon.
One at Wright Island and one at Waitpinga Cliffs :) great photo by Elizabeth Steele-Collins
Last Sunday we were out cruising the islands off of Victor Harbor when a Sunfish visited, we haven't seen any before in the area. Such a beautiful animal peacefully swimming by The Big Duck. Sunfish can grow to up to 3.3m in length and weigh more then 2t!
A Southern Right Whale was spotted 400m off of the back of the rocky bay of Middleton during the local South Coast Board Riders Club surfing event. The Whale swam towards Frenchmans Reef
South Australia's ocean adventure experience. Take a cruise on The Big Duck boat to see seals, dolphins and whales, as well as spectacular islands, cliffs and beaches
