SLS welcome Kasey back

Today's Whalewatch Explorer was able to watch and photograph one of our
favourite summer visitors, "Kasey" is an adult minke whale that Sea Life
Surveys have been watching and photographing since 1997, today he came back
again! 

The last time he was observed was just half a mile from Tobermory bay
in August 2007.

He was seen feeding co-operatively with 4 other adult and juvenille Minkes
near Coll, in amongst hundreds of Manx Shearwaters and thousands of sand eel
shoals. Its a great sign to see him already, as we know that he loves this
area. 

Also seen today were our two White Tail Eagles (green and blue tag),
harbour porpoise, seals and lots of seabirds.
