User's notes
A pod of 4 dolphins was sighted swimming up a channel at Raby Bay before returning and heading out to sea. The first image shows three of the dolphins with a calf in front closely followed by an adult. In the third image there are four dolphins with the calf to the left of the image just in front of an adult. The fourth image shows evident damage to the dorsal fins. The final image shows the dolphins exiting the channel. Additional detail is provided in following sighting 4486310 to help with identification. Assumed to be Bottlenosed dolphins from the images, but not sure. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.
