Moko is our latest resident dolphin.
There are many dolphins around our coastal waters and often in the past one or more have abandoned their pod and adopted a stretch of coastline or a harbour as their territory.
Moko is a very playful and sociable fellow who is giving pleasure to many swimmers and boaties around the Mahia area this summer.
There have been some concerns that he is becoming too forceful and sometimes tries to prevent kayakers and body boarders from getting back to shore.
I hope that he stays safe. The safety of the swimmers and kayakers doesn't concern me overly as it is their choice to be there and to interact with him. They are in his territory.

They are funny animals, in more ways than one. Thanks for posting!
Great post...I live off the shores of Lake Erie in the states and we would all go bonkers to have a resident dolphin off our shores! Lucky you....good post.
I'm writing this as you commented over on Xbox4NappyRashes site congratulating him on the birth of his daughter.
I am writing it here because this post is down the page a bit and i don't want him to see it :)
A while ago, before Martin's (xbox4nappyrash) wife got pregnant I promised I would post a youtube video of me singing "Yes" by Mcalomont & Butler whilst accompanying myself on the ukulele to celebrate the birth of their child.
This will not be a pretty sight as I can neither sing, nor really play the ukulele (this isn't false modesty - I really can't).
However what I thought might make it really cool would be instead of just a straight video I put together a montage of videos shot by readers of his blog all celebrating - i.e. dancing, sticking thumbs up, cheering, holding up signs, that sort of thing. It would have to be something that would work without sound as I would put my (awful) soundtrack over the top of it.
It would be great if you could participate. If you send me a short 5-15 second video clip (or at a push a photo, but a video would be much better) along with your name and blog then I'll put it together with other submissions and get something ready for the end of the week. I think it would be a really nice thing to do for martin to show him and E how pleased we are for him. and Martin has been incredibly supportive of me and my various projects in the past.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. My email address is dghughes28@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks again.
Dan.
