Attempted thefts at Dolphin Centre
Cormorants are causing havoc with the dolphin’s fish
Hi everyone, great news for our visitors with four or five Dolphins visiting the Cove most days. Auzzie seems to be comfortable with the volunteers feeding her and will probably feed regularly from the public soon. .
Ella is still a regular with playful calf, Joe. Some days all the adult dolphins play with the calf and create a lot of thrashing around, much delight to the visitors. We volunteers in the water have to watch our backs in case of being knocked over.
Safety is paramount and we create a buffer zone between the dolphins and visitors standing in the water.
Unfortunately the little black cormorants are again creating havoc and trying to steal fish during the feeding of the dolphins. A volunteer is needed to chase them away with waving flags most of the time.
Remember that if you are a local resident and wish to showcase these dolphins to your visiting friends and family, you do not pay to enter the complex. You only need to pay for a fish to feed the dolphins.
See you there
Norma Sanderson (volunteer)
