Another lovely time with the Bottlenose off the breakwater today. They arrived just before high water and stayed for a couple of hours. As usual at this state of the tide there were several small boats about plus the ferry arrival as well. Naturally I kept a close eye on the small boats around the dolphins, but I needn't have worried. One or two went straight past and carried on their way not noticing the dolphins, but two approached with extreme caution and once off the lighthouse cut engines and just enjoyed the dolphins playing around and socialising. Their reward was seeing the dolphins at close quarters seemingly oblivious of their presence. Once they were done and the dolphins had moved away from them they quietly moved off into the bay toward the slipway and moorings. Soon it was time for me to leave as well and on my way home I stopped in at the old slipway and thanked one of the boat owners for showing respect to our precious bottlenose.
