Kealie meets mother and baby dolphin on research trip

Hi again from Kealie!

On day four, it was my turn to go out in the boat which meant a 5:45 start. It was great - we saw Bottlenose Dolphins around 7:17, it was a mother and her juvenile. It was so cute it even came up to the boat to have a look at us, the mother wasn’t too happy.

Out in the boat we saw a lot of jellyfish because spring is in a couple of weeks. After that we saw around four other schools of dolphins the highest school we saw was a group of five adults. All the dolphins we got data on were the Bottlenose Dolphins. We were lucky enough though to see a turtle, which was huge.

Well it will be Mitch and my last day on Friday, really excited but sad that it will be the last but we are going out with a bang!! We are going snorkelling over at the islands, so we will take lots of photos to put up for our last post. So bye for now...
