Drone Gets Bird's-Eye View of Sharks Feeding Off Australian Coast
Awesome drone footage captured a number of bronze whaler sharks enjoying a fish feast off the coast of South Australia last week. The footage, by videographer https://www.instagram.com/taken_by_talina/ Talina Brown , shows "at least 13" sharks feeding on a large school of salmon at Sleaford Bay near Port Lincoln. Brown told Storyful that she had taken her drone out for a test run on March 11, ahead of a wedding she was due to film, when she noticed a "dark patch" in the ocean and flew the drone over to investigate. "I soon realized it was a large school of salmon and with a closer look, counted at least 13 sharks," she said. Brown said she went back to Sleaford the next day to film some wedding footage, when she noticed the salmon had "moved up the coast 600 meters" but the sharks were still "100 meters off shore". "I counted 30 sharks this time. I made a quick video to raise awareness for local surfers and swimmers which got quickly shared around and gained traction by the local news," she said. Shark expert Andrew Fox https://www.9news.com.au/national/south-australia-sharks-video-port-lincoln-salmon/35ae4318-f281-41fa-b7aa-e3625bc46ef2 told 9News : "This is the time of the year where bronze whalers influx into our area and feed on big schools of Australian salmon which are a big food source."
