Kangaroo Island Dolphin Watch celebrated its fourth birthday in a seemingly understated fashion last week.
It was however, a very special field trip which took place with students and volunteers joined by world renowned photographer Bill Bachmann and collaborative author Quentin Chester, who will be highlighting Dolphin Watch’s work in their
Kangaroo Island feature in Australian Geographic magazine in the near
future.
It is a wonderful
acknowledgement of the fantastic work performed by Kangaroo Island Community Education
students and community volunteers!
A pod of 12 dolphins at Dashwood Bay, including some new identifications, demonstrated a range of behaviours including their fishing prowess, to the
delight of all on board.
In spite of poor lighting Bill, together with
talented and highly experienced local photographer Pete Nash and the students, were able to obtain some fantastic images. It was a great celebration
of the ongoing efforts
to protect Kangaroo
Island’s dolphins and
their environment.
