I had been despairing that we hadn't seen dolphins for a year or more when a TVFTDO spotter called to say that cruise ship Spirit of Discovery was passing close to the shore. And what is that in front of its bow? Yep, a dolphin.

Possibly as many as twenty although they split into two groups. They entered the river twice, likely chasing food.

One of the two groups came right into the harbour. This buoy is the middle of the mainstream moorings. It is level with the town jetty. Yes, you have to search for the fin. Looks rather like an orca.
