Aihe - Dusky Dolphins
Here are two small paintings of Aihe or Dusky Dolphins, these are found mostly around the
South Island. The photograph and film show some which came in to feed in
Enclosure Bay on Waiheke Island, then spent some time playing and putting on
a wonderful display. Our Maui dolphins are the smallest and rarest and you
would be very lucky to see them, they are under extreme threat and now
number only about fifty. This time of year we are not at the beach often
so it is a pleasure to remind ourselves of the sights during warmer weather.
