Chris and her calf seen!

Great news! Adoptable female dolphin Chris has already been seen on several occasions this season, including a very close encounter from a survey trip on the Gallois on the 11th of May, accompanied by her now grown and inquisitive (not to say cheeky) calf. The pair was seen last year (picture below), when he was still the size of a newborn. We were delighted to see them both looking healthy. The calf has become quite big and is particularly curious with boats: he even splashed monitoring officer Gemma Veneruso during the survey trip, while showing off next to the boat!

The pair should be seen around again soon, and a closer look at the sighting pictures from this morning, which included at least one calf, should confirm their presence.
