An oil slick, feeding seabirds, and a female surfacing with a large chunk of meat\u2014likely from a beaked whale\u2014confirmed the event.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, we witnessed rare prey sharing behaviour. Digby made multiple close passes by the bow, joined by Fanscar, Mia, Lucy, and Dundette, each tearing into the meal. Soon after, the scene turned playful. Dundette, Razor, Lil Blade, and Oreo from Cookie\u2019s pod engaged in energetic spy-hops, tail slaps, and body rolls\u2014a perfect finish to the day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.com\/animals\/mammals\/facts\/orca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more about orca prey sharing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>15 January \u2013 Interactions with Splittip\u2019s Pod<\/h3>\n<p>Golden sunlight and calm seas greeted us. Doppel from Lucky\u2019s pod appeared first, followed by Val and Ocea. Shortly after, Splittip\u2019s pod arrived. Three Stripes, Ripple, and Wonks showed strong interest in our vessel.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Basil swam beneath the boat, and Mamang seemed to enjoy the camera attention. Kirra and Basil surfaced just a metre from the port side. A curious moment came when we retrieved a bottle covered in goose barnacles, sparking a mini marine biology lesson.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the day ended at Glasse Island, where sea lions lounged among birds\u2014a beautiful scene for guests on the <strong>Bremer Canyon Killer Whale Expedition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>16 January \u2013 Beaked Whale Chase and Spy-Hopping Nibbles<\/h3>\n<p>Pristine conditions gave us a perfect start. Digby, Razor, Mia, and Dundette, joined by Lucy Dash and Nibbles, made relaxed passes early in the day.<\/p>\n<p>By mid-morning, five juvenile grey\u2019s beaked whales surfaced nearby, pursued by the orca. The chase didn\u2019t result in a kill, however, the energy remained electric. Nibbles performed a rare spy-hop, and the pod later rode our wake, making for a thrilling end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/bremercanyonkillerwhales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out what to expect from your expedition with Naturaliste Charters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>17 January \u2013 Pilot Whales and Calf Antics<\/h3>\n<p>The morning began with our first pilot whale sighting of the season\u2014around 50 individuals racing by. Soon after, Tatty\u2019s pod appeared. Juveniles Marley and Missy\u2019s new calf showed off playful fluke stands and rolls.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day, we found Splittip\u2019s pod again. Tarni, Ripple, and Adino were present. Marley and Miro\u2019s calves were especially energetic, spy-hopping and nudging each other through the waves.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, we passed Glasse Island, where we spotted <a href=\"https:\/\/greatsouthernreef.com\/australian-sea-lion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endangered Australian sea lions<\/a> resting between the rocks.<\/p>\n<h3>18 January \u2013 Beaked Whale Skull and Breaching Orca<\/h3>\n<p>A dramatic predation unfolded as orca surged towards an oil slick. Doppel emerged carrying a beaked whale skull. A shark followed, hoping to scavenge remains. Lucky\u2019s pod\u2014Vincent, Val, Keela, and Ron\u2014was in full pursuit mode.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, Tatty\u2019s pod surged alongside the boat. Their speed and coordination thrilled everyone aboard. The excitement continued with sightings of a sunfish, then tail slaps and three powerful breaches from Lucy Dash and Digby.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Curious about orca behaviour? Visit our FAQ page to learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>19 January \u2013 Pilot Whale Stand-Off and a Dolphin Farewell<\/h3>\n<p>Cookie\u2019s pod\u2014Oreo, Swirl, and Crumble\u2014moved in formation through calm water. Then, their behaviour changed as they circled a disturbance: long-finned pilot whales had arrived. A standoff followed, with vocalisations and close passes.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, the orca disengaged and continued on. As we headed back to port, a pod of common dolphins escorted our boat in perfect synchrony. It was a joyful ending to a remarkable <strong>Bremer Canyon Killer Whale Expedition<\/strong> week.<\/p>\n<p>Every <strong>Bremer Canyon Killer Whale Expedition<\/strong> reveals something new\u2014whether it is orca predation, social play, or surprising encounters with pilot whales and dolphins.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/augusta-whale-watching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out our Augusta whale watching tours<\/a> if you\u2019re visiting later in the season.<\/p>\n<p>For more highlights and daily sightings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bremercanyonkillerwhaleexpeditions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">follow us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/bremercanyonkillerwhales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ready to join us?
