It is another Koombana Bay baby boom with the arrival of five dolphin calves near Bunbury delighting experts still aglow after last year's stream of arrivals.
In 2021, 19 calves were born in the Koombana Bay area, the highest number since monitoring began in 1989.
In the past two weeks there have been five new arrivals — Ambush, Tracker, Squid, Reef, and another who is yet to be given a name.

Dolphin Discovery Centre conservation manager Jan Tierney said the calves stayed with their mothers for three to four years.
