Moonlight with Bigg’s Killer Whales – 27/8/23

Today was such an incredible day with the T099s, T137s, T109As, T038C, and T038E.

T137A “Jack” catching some air this afternoon. You can see the floats of a crab trap right below him and, shortly after this breach, he started pulling along the trap with him. A behaviour that is, seemingly, becoming more and more common.

Very social and active all day long but the highlight was going out in the darkness last night with @washy_washout @freakishej @taslishaw and @junglejane89 for some moonlight viewing.

For the most part we couldn’t see the whales, we just shut down and could hear the “KWOOF” sounds echoing off the islands as the 18 whales came up to breath. Every once in a while a whale would cross the moonlight and you could make out the dorsal fin like this shot of T137A “Jack”.
