Dolphin Checking The Shore

This was one of the first indications Dolphins might strand feed the other day. At first a few Dolphins were in the middle of the river mouth, staying deep.

I saw a shape a few yards off shore, then a Dolphin raised up, swam by looking at me and the shore line. This was close but the Dolphin made no move other than to move right along the shore.

I moved back a little to give them space if they did feed, also it reminded me how quickly things happen. With a big lens there is no way to capture anything that close. It’s over before you can focus.

Earlier I had been told this happened as the tide went out, but no feeding on or near shore.
