Subject: [NatureNS] Ocean Sun Fish
Hello All,
While out fishing on the waters of Halifax harbour today, I saw an Ocean
Sun Fish
at about 12:00. It was seen traveling slowly in a northerly direction about
200m off
Sandwich Pt, which is on the west side of the harbour between Fergusons Cove
and
Herring Cove. It was first seen swimming vertically with the dorsal fin out
of the
water but laid over on its side as the boat passed beside it. I have a quite
good photo
which I can e-mail to anyone who is interested once I get it down loaded
from the
camera. I estimate that it was about 1.5m in height and length.
I found it worthy to note that there were very few birds around. D.C.
Cormorant and
small numbers of the usual gulls, and two C Eider were the total.
Perhaps for the first time, no seals were seen. Also, no whales,
dolphins or porpoises.
The fishing was also slow. Three fishers came up with only two small
polack and about
twelve mackeral.
Cheers
Dennis Hippern
Cole Harbour, H.R.M.
