Wildlife Adventure - 3rd August 2012

Wildlife Adventure passengers - 3rd August 2012. We sat drifting with the engines off for around an hour with a Minke whale, several basking sharks and porpoise for company, magic! We had one close association with the whale and one of the larger sharks came within metres of our stern as it cruised up and down the tide line feeding. Also shearwaters, diving gannets, common seals and a juvenile sea eagle :-)


Great views of a Minke whale on our Wildlife Adventure, this one surfaced just a few metres of Sula Beag’s stern! You can even make out the white band on its pectoral fin through the water
