There is actually Nature here,

There is actually Nature here, real animals, real water. Have not been to the beach, but there are windows onto a bay and there were some amazing sightings so far. Day one brought the death of a pidgeon. I could not help the poor pidgeon. She decided to land on water in the middle of the bay. Pidgeons are not the best swimmers. What looked like a pelikan diving for food at first, turned out to be this pidgeon trying to start off the water surface. It just did not work. The pidgeon was really far away, but I managed to bring my 300mm lens, so I saw it there in the middle of the bay. A hammerhead shark came by, but decided not to eat it. Other bids came by, but decided not to eat it either. After maybe 20 minutes of attempted starts, the pidgeon tried diving instead, which just did not work out as well as it should have. A sad start. But there was a hmmerhead shark in the story, which was quite a surprise. On the following day there was a real hunting scene. A pack of larger fish. They looked a bit like tuna, but what do I know, managed t corner a school of small fish probably sardines. It was a food feast. Air bubbles, wld manouvers under water, excellent hunting skills. My view was from the 17th floor, but the lens helped. Yesterday, a dolphin swam by waving wildly and cheering happily. Really. A very happy dolphin. There is plenty of dolphins in the bay. They tend ot hunt in the morning. Even though everything happens in a far distance, the circles they make show clearly that their hunting goes pretty well. From time to time one of them amost jumps out of the water. Wild stuff... Later in the afternoon, a turtle swam by the apartment. A really huge turtle. It just came closer to the surface for a moment, but it was quite impressive. Mantas usually come in groups of 4 or 6 they do not seem to be as intelligent as some of the other animals. Or maybe they like the sun? There are so many other fish I can not classify.
Please forgive my spelling, i did not buy enough time to check it. ; )
