🐋 It's the perfect time of year to celebrate World Whale and Dolphin Day because whale migration is in full swing along the Mid West coast!
Over the last few weeks we've been spotting whales almost constantly off the coast of Geraldton as they make their annual journey north. Many of the mums are travelling with their calves, and it's always incredible to watch these youngsters learning from their mothers while stopping to take advantage of the rich feeding grounds along our coastline.
If you've been thinking about getting out on the water or into the air, now is one of the best times of year to witness these amazing animals in their natural environment.
A huge thank you to everyone working to protect whales and dolphins so future generations can continue to experience this incredible migration. 🐋💙
