james7 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 These pictures were taken a couple of kms off Botany Heads. First we saw the birds going crazy, then noticed the dolphins playing amongst them. (I never get sick of watching dolphins) It was an amazing sight. We tried trolling around the edges of the bait school (no luck), so we ended up just stopping and enjoying the "show". The dolphins were jumping and playing just metres from the boat. This is what the birds and dolphins were chasing. I'm not sure what they are? Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james7 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 bmar560, IFishSick and Josh88, now that I look closely at it, I think you're right. It is a "munched" yakka. One of the birds had dropped it, so it had obviously been distorted somewhat. It was quite small, maybe only 6-8cm long. It just seemed so unusual when I first looked at it. Beautiful shots, Peter! Love the air born Dolphin! Like you, I love them too! Can I add it to my folder of Animal Shots???Ta Roberta Thanks Roberta. You're more than welcome.
