Dolphins at South Perth foreshore

Another win for nature, is that dophins can still live in the Swan River. In fact, swans can too.
These dolphins were using the retaining wall as a fish trap, with one staying further out from the wall, and perhaps helping by herding towards the wall, where the other one could catch them.




As a post-script, a friend who has been recording dolphin activity in the Swan River has used the markings on the fins to identify the individuals -

The mother appears to be "Pirulli", so presumably her companion would be her two year old calf named "Soul".
