Hi,
Dave Donnelly and I went to have a look off Cape
Schank on Saturday and found two blue whales feeding about 2.5 miles offshore.
We viewed from the cliff tops just up from the car park at the lighthouse,
without having to pay to enter. You'll need a good pair of bins / scope to see
them well. There were reports of half a dozen off Barwon Heads the other day
also. It will certainly be worth a look for anyone heading down when the next
high pressure comes through. Blue whale numbers usually peak about Feb / March
and tail off by May so they may not be around for too much longer.
Apologies for not getting this on over the easter
weekend. I tried but the message bounced without me knowing until now.
Cheers,
Simon.
