Summer Whales
Sunday, February 5th, 2012Right now the humpbacks are down south in Antarctic waters, having their summer feast. There they will be eating massive quantities of krill, and building up their blubber as fuel for the long trip they will soon make back to warm waters.
The first whales will head north in April/May and by the beginning of June there’ll be plenty travelling past Byron Bay – which signals the start of the whale-watching season here!
Last season, Whale Watching Byron Bay continued its support of whale research at Southern Cross University, including over 100 identification photos of humpback whales that were contributed to the East Coast Whale Watch Catalogue.
