Whalewatch Explorer - 14th August 2012

Whalewatch Explorer passengers - 14th of August 2012. Brilliant trip today with several Minke whales and basking sharks. One shark came particularly close and swam alongside Sula Beag giving everyone onboard the chance to see the shark's whole body under the water and look into its gaping mouth, wow! Also porpoise, common and grey seals, Manx shearwater, puffins, fulmars, diving gannets and a juvenile white-tailed eagle on our way home! :-)

 

 

Spot the seal!! This was one of the many common seals we saw whilst taking a break from whale watching to have our lunch!

Great skua attacking a juvenile gannet
