Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

Groups of 5 Leopard Sharks were present at the beginning of the week. They all seemed annoyed by the remoras stuck to them. One Leopard Shark was caught “blinking” at the camera.

Large Eagle Rays were around, a numbray was spotted. Also a large Bull ray on Monday.
