Daily Snaps.
A great White Shark cruises by.
Can you see the sharks eye under the water?
we found 2 adult Southern Right Whales travelling along yesterday.
Here, you can see Dyer Island and a ship in the background with the whales in the foreground. A very busy scene.
This whale had very few callosities on her head.
These whales seemed to be in no rush to travel anywhere.
two little African Penguins hanging around.
These birds were super relaxed, so we got some great looks.
Having a good old scratch.
Laying like sausages on the Prince Port.
Some beautiful wave action behind the island.
Checking out the seals.
A whole lot of sleepy pinnipeds.
Doing some people watching.
Another curious seal.
Wiping the face.
What species did we see today?
