Details

Entered at The Steps with a plan to work against the outgoing tide all the way to The Monument to look for the seahorses, "Lisa", "Fernando" and "Kimi". We took it nice and easy looking closely all the way for interesting animals. We made it to their rock and quickly found "Lisa" and two other males. One of the males may be "Kimi" but I only have photos of him from his right side and this male I only shot from the left side so I can't be sure. The other male was definitely not "Fernando".

After finishing with the seahorses we dashed back to The Steps to exit.
