Tonga: First Encounters 2006

It’s been a hectic first week — travelling, getting settled, seeing friends, swimming with humpback whales. And it’s been a successful week.

We’ve spent lots of time in the water with our cetacean friends, been treated to breaches and other acrobatic displays, and happily, I’ve already recognised a number of whales from previous years.

As soon as I get a free moment, I’ll post some pictures. In the meantime, here’s a short video about our first encounters:

2006年トンガのザトウクジラの撮影が始まった。主には写真を撮っていますが、今年から初めて映像に挑戦しています。初めの一週間はとってもよくて、クジラとのいい出会いがいっぱいありました。このビデオは最初の子クジラとの出会いです。これからどんどん親子クジラが増えると嬉しい。今後のブログを楽しみに。。。
