User's notes

Dolphins spotted off the coast at Bittabangabee Bay. Observed 3 repeats of behaviour that suggested they were calving off sections from a school of fish and herding them into the shallows to eat. Also, a companion with a much better camera confirmed a calf moving along in close proximity to its mother, often resting on it's lateral fins.
