A pod of 13 orca seen in Wellington yesterday (Owhiro Bay), swimming lazily around the shore and rocks.
The annual Cook Strait whale count has ended with record numbers, including Migaloo the albino humpback from Oz.
And we have a tropical sea turtle, found on Lyall Bay this week - now she is a looooong way from home and not happy about it. She's a rare Olive Ridley turtle, possibly caught on the wrong ocean current, and injured. The zoo is doing their best. The news this afternoon is better; she might make it.
