Early winter - waterfalls, visitors and guardians

4th June a pod of Bryde's whales entertained Rooiels the whole day and a few of them the next day too.  They were actively fishing - mostly around Container bay - perhaps brought in by some fish chasing the red tide which has meant limited mussel collecting for humans (and cats) for weeks now. 

We have had a number of new baby baboons this year and it is delightful to see how the troop care for each other and how the fathers enjoy and protect their young. 

​A glimpse of dolphins passing and a photo of a shark breaching off the nature reserve - taken some years back in February.  Below a photo of  the Rooiels river in flood on 16th May - thanks Riel.
