28th December 2011 (Bottlenose Dolphins, Hector's Dolphins, Dusky Dolphin, Orca & Fur Seals)
We had probably one of the best encounters of the year last week .A fantastic interaction with Dusky Dolphins in East Bay queen charlotte sound , the dolphins just loved the high pitched squeals of joy and singing by our lucky guests. One guest was 3 months pregnant and the animals just would not leave her alone . She has now decided to name her baby Dusky. The finish was an incredible 2nd swim of 25 minutes with this fun loving group of Dusky dolphins.
This week 9 orca swam in to eat stingrays and now 45 bottlenose whom just love to swim close and whistle and squeek at the lucky humans entertaining them,
Plenty of NZ fur seals, seabirds in abundance, and lots of King Shag sightings. As close as 15 minutes away! One rock we had 27 King Shags .
The Bird Sanctuary Island is full of life at the moment with summer growth and an increase in bird life to match. Say a close up hello to the robins, bell birds, nz wood pigeon’s and delighting in the bird song of the saddle backs and parakeet to name a few.
We welcome you to come for the New Year and look forward to sharing all of the wonderful wildlife we have here in the Marlborough sounds with you all.
