Looks like the stranding season is back with us.
On Friday a pod of Pilot whales stranded themselves near Marsden point, Whangarei (south of Tutukaka/ Pook Nights). Half were refloted and sent back out to sea only for them to become restranded yesterday.

Now listening to Great Barrier Rescue Coastguard on the VHF a pod of Pilot whales are looking distressed close to shore on GB Island. Probably the same pod.
