Started the day by going to a salt pan for a spot of bird watching. There was supposed to be a little ring plover but not to our eyes. Lovely group of yellow billed ducks –
.
And the heron on its nest –
.
We then journeyed back into Hermanus just in time. All these photos are taken from the shore so it shows how close the whales were –
.
Nearly got it breaching –
.
They are huge –
.
Ever looked down a Southern Right’s mouth before? –
.
Then there were two –
.
Some flippers –
.
It’s a big blow –
.
Another whale tail upside down –
.
These are all photos of the Southern Right whale which visit between June and November –
.
A group of Cape Dassies were also enjoying the sun and the whales –
.
.
It’s been a whale of a day. (Been waiting to type that!!!!!)
