Phil, Tom and Alex(taking photo) spent the morning with Mike Bossley of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society on his research vessel catching up on the latest news on the Port River Dolphins. It was an ideal morning and we found plenty of dolphins including Wave and Tallula. These two dolphins were badly injured recently and it was great to see they are making a full recovery. Mike now believes that the bad burns they experienced was the result of sunburn due to a stranding incident; dolphins skin is very sensitive to UV light. There is no evidence of this but this seems the most likely cause. It was great to see these two beautiful dolphins getting back to their old selves as the surfed the wake of the research boat.
