Reliable Mums!

August 10, 2021/ Joel Hirsch

We have 2x regular Cow & Calf pairs hanging about in the Encounter Bay area, and we’ve been seeing them with a degree of regularity.

Monday 9th August - we had our staff sight a Mother & Calf from the shore only 20-minutes before a tour, so we ventured over into the Whale Sanctuary but unfortunately the Whales were a bit allusive and we didn’t manage to see them……. They then moved eastwards towards Goolwa in the afternoon.

Today - 10th August we had similar reports & knew where the whales were… And saw to see them on both tours….. Just goes to show you we can have up-to-date sighting reports, know exactly where Whales & even then sometime we see them, sometimes we don’t……

However its great to see the Mum & their lil’ bubs hanging about for the winter season
