April 11, 2024 Thursday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:02 to 2:15 and there were six seals seen during that time.
On LPB was TA68 adult size, male belly with prominent nb, healing cc bite on right upper side, two red tags.
Down from 1BS was an Adult Female: adult size, mottled female belly, two red tags and a noticeable pit scar in front of her right shoulder. When she moved down to the waterline, TA68 galumphed over to visit her, they had a short tussle in the water and then both headed back up the beach.
At Middle Cliff were RF34 Pua and her pup. The pup was hidden behind mom for much of the time, but it did finally come around the front and nursed.
Up in the dunes near 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: sub-adult size, light tan female belly and two red tags. She rolled down the dune in about five rotations before heading for the shore line rocks and then ultimately moving back up the beach.
When Marilyn did her last scan of the shore line at 2:14, she became aware of a Juvenile Female between 3BS and SRI. JF: juvenile size,
light female belly and two red tags.

Team R&B had a very slow day today. They only found RH32 Kaale. They even saw him leave in the afternoon.
In spite of checking all the usual location they came up empty.
Unfortunately they did find four more dead shearwaters at the bay. So heartbreaking.

They did get to watch the dolphins and noticed one which had something on its snout. They couldn't tell what it was. They originally noticed it in the morning and spotted the same seal again in the afternoon.
