Day 3. By Calvin

After a long journey down the coast to Sukorn Island we focused our attention on two areas which we thought would be prime dolphin territory. Only minutes later we had our first sighting, two Humpback Dolphins which appeared to be frolicking at the surface. After a period watching these animals it became clear they were mating and after taking some voyeur photography we let them be and continued down to the south east of the island.
Another group was spotted and we spent a while with this group taking photo’s trying to get closer to get better quality images for identification. Avoiding and being elusive we accepted the images we got and headed back home. Before we knew it the boat captain shouted ‘Dolphin’ and pointed us in the direction of our third group of the day!
This one contained three Humpback Dolphins which we got very close to and some nice photos of both left and right side for dorsal fin identification. Once we were satisfied we headed home after a very productive days work with smiles on all of our faces. A brilliant day!
