| Other Information: |
I saw what looked to be 2 dolphins swimming closely together in the direction of Peel, I wondered if they could have been Moonlight and Starlight heading back to Peel after the disturbance of the fireworks on the Friday before. They breached to the surface twice and I was able to see their main fin and tail. They didn’t leap high, but high enough to be seen clearly from the beach/path. |
