Finally our locals have moved back to Glenelg, bringing their new borns with them. Most pods are still North of Glenelg feeding on the Pilchards.
Interaction is always good when the local pods are around, but a couple of wet days made the water dirty from the run offs of the two rivers close to Glenelg.
March was a lot like February with most pods North of Glenelg. Interaction was great with plenty of dolphins around, however the water clarity around Glenelg has not been as good as down South. There has been Sea Birds and Penguins close to shore just North of Glenelg – This is due to the annual Pilchard run that starts South of Glenelg in December and finishes North of Glenelg in April.
We will be expecting to see more dolphins down South for April.
February is generally a bad month for interaction because this is when most carves are born, but this February we decided to try something new and head North for all trips - Lucky for us it paid off.
There were large pods of dolphins with no new borns within that region, so our interaction was better than pervious February’s.
March will see us head South into the cleaner water.
January has been a great month for new borns, so far we have recorded 12 along the coastline.
The interaction has been good considering there has been a baby in majority of the pods swum with. We have been extremely lucky that every mum has bought their baby over to Temptation and the swimmers.
Like usual there has been a lot of dolphin harassment in January due to summer holidays and the increase of boat/Jet ski traffic. This constant harassment sends the dolphins into deeper water where their babies are easier prey for sharks.
