描述

Seen just passed the surf, active from at least 1pm - 3:30 pm

Seen twisting and swimming sideways, likely churning up nutrient-rich sediment for food. Recent diatom blooms likely made this quite the buffet for them! I only saw 3 individuals, others claim there were 4.

Such a treat to see these, whilst everyone else was focused on hundreds of corgis! (Though the Corgis were treats as well. Especially the one dressed up like an anemone)

Regardless. Seen just passed the surf in quite shallow water!
