Jumpers - Dolphin at Enclosure Bay

Welcome to the Midnight Collective Broadsheet 43

Actively supporting NZ’s endangered wetland birds

This dolphin pod came through to Enclosure Bay in the afternoon and frolicked for around four hours before heading out to sea as the sun began to set. In making the film we counted around 10 at one time, but probably there were about double this number. The larger members cruised up and down, outside the entrance to the bay while the smaller and presumably younger ones became friskier and friskier.They just seemed to be taking a breather and set off as the sun lowered in the sky. 

It was very difficult filming, looking into the lowering sun, and with the high tide preventing a close approach. But we thought we’d put it up for you anyway. 

Track we were listening to while posting this  Waiheke Island's national anthem - The  Four Preps-  26 Miles (Santa Cantalina)  (Glen Larson and Bruce Belland)

Twenty-six miles across the sea
Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me
Santa Catalina, the island of romance
Romance, romance, romance

Water all around it everywhere
Tropical trees and the salty air
But for me the thing that's a-waitin' there, romance
