Lots of animals out and about today! The large pod of common dolphins has continued to patrol the drop off about 5-6 miles from shore. They are hunting small fish and squid alongside many birds including phalaropes, cocos booby birds, terns, shearwaters and auklets (in the same family as puffins!).

There were even some dolphins trying to fly like the birds!
