Whalewatch Explorer - 11th August 2012

Whalewatch Explorer passengers - 11th of August 2012. Minke whales, basking shark and our second sighting of a sunfish this season were some of the highlights from today's trip! We also stopped for lunch amongst the seals and white sandy beaches and saw great skuas, storm petrels, feeding shearwater and had several close fulmar fly-bys :-)

Not one of our best photographs but this is the sunfish we saw today... you can just make out the dorsal fin breaking the surface and the pale disc-shaped body lying almost horizontal under the water! :-)
