Serene or scary moment?

10th July 2009

THE sight of a fin can appear menacing if you are a youngster out on the ocean.

NewsMail Photographer Ron Burgin was out along Kelly's Beach on his day off when he spotted two dolphins cruising along. Suddenly there was action aplenty as one dolphon swiftly herded a shoal of mullet into the beach for a quick feed. This was one lucky mullet, a scared canoist and a happy photographer.

THE sight of a fin can appear menacing if you are a youngster out on the ocean.

But this fin belonged to a dolphin, not a shark, and the prey was a shoal of mullet.

One lucky mullet escaped a dolphin off Kelly's Beach, Bargara, to the surprise of this young kayaker and the Bundaberg NewsMail photographer who had his lens trained on the action.
