A windy day.

Low underwater visibility meant one session

No such thing as a Sunday in the field! We recorded 56 min of video and sounds this morning and watched the dolphins whistle lots (okay we listened to the whistles but watched the bubble streams).

Video analyses began in the afternoon with 14 min of video processed. This means that we identified the individual dolphins in view of the camera. It took about 2.5 hours to do this. Lots of effort but the payoff is great as we are observing rubbing and pectoral fin touches and more.
Lots of data – WOW!

Till tomorrow
