Whalewatch Explorer – 30th of August 2012.

Whalewatch Explorer passengers – 30th of August 2012. Two very sociable Minke whales today which came right over to us! We could track the white markings on one of them beneath the surface as it swam alongside Sula Beag, wow! We also had superb views of the white-tailed eagles this morning being mobbed by ravens and lots of seals at the sunny Cairns of Coll during our lunch break! Not forgetting the one puffin, gannets, shearwaters, fulmars, Arctic and great skuas and storm petrels :-)



The white bands on this Minke whale's pectoral fins were visible under the water as it swam past the boat today :-)
