Busy photographing a goatfish at Goat Island in poor visability when this whai swam past and I just managed to get this one photo - totally stoked! I did try and follow but it disappeared into the murky water.
Not sure if I have the species name right.
How exciting. Last year we found one T.malvina in the neighbour's property but this year when I went to check that spot, none on his place but a colony now on my place.
Remains of the blue tide at Piha today. Noticed a lot of these blowing up into the dunes. Should make for a nice input of nutrients.
I also couldn't help but notice all of the small plastic fragments in the drift. They were everywhere you looked.
