three whales feeding at mouth of Trout Bay, Klemtu - right in harbour

Saturday afternoon Oct 22 three Humpback whales treated the village to a display of "bubbling" right at the entrance to Trout Bay, around which the village is situated. We stood on the pier and watched as the whales swam back and forth, dove, blew their bubbles to concentrate the Krill, and then rose up through the herded feed with their mouths open. One can predict where the whales will break through the surface by the seagulls that concentrate over the rising bubbles. 







This display continued all afternoon and ended only when individual witnesses tired of standing through the rain showers.
