Finalist – aerial: The Chase

‘I’m fascinated by interspecies interactions. I question: is it just social interaction or are these encounters driven by deeper connections, communication, or even cooperation? These two bottlenose dolphins were riding the humpback’s wake then swimming to its eye and pausing. It was like a reunion of old friends in a fleeting moment.’ Nyangbul country, Lennox Head, New South Wales.

I blew the cobwebs away with a walk on the coast path today. As I sat down on the clifftop to eat my lunch, a dolphin leapt out of the water below…then another and another. I was treated to almost an hour of free dolphin watching. I settled down with my bins and a sausage roll and enjoyed the show. A truly special encounter. I even managed to film a fair bit on my camera. Here’s a short snippet.
