2021 WHALE SEASON BEGINS

June 22, 2021/ Joel Hirsch

We have already had several sightings onboard tours this Whale Season with numerous sighting over the past weekend (19-20th June 2021).

An individual Female Southern Right ‘Broderie’ has been identified from the distinctive fingerprint callosity patterns on their heads. This is the 3rd time ‘Broderie’ has been identified returning to our Encounter Bay shores.

The image below was taken onboard Sunday 20th June. Sent in with thanks from Daniel Swalling.
