Monday's Whale Watch Continued...

As reported on yesterdays Captain’s Log by Tom, Monday’s Whale Watch Explorer headed out into the hottest day of the year and found a whale within an hour.

SLS super guide Abs first sighted the whale, which proved to be a little illusive, still perseverance is the name of this game and we headed across the silky blue sea to the Isle of Coll.

Once again we picked up three whales feeding amongst shoals of small fish that we observed bubbling at the surface. The abundance of food was reflected in the whale’s behaviour, with most whales we have observed lately surfacing much more leisurely and being very inquisitive of our boats – Yay!

As well as the whales, the sun and the birds, the trip was treated to some fantastic views of basking sharks including two very small sharks!
