Whalewatch Explorer - 8th August 2013

Three Minke Whales feeding together around Sula Beag today which included the local celebrity Knobble! Up to 10 Basking Sharks showing well including a couple of really close passes giving everyone on board a view of their gaping mouth and full body just under the surface. Dolphins were seen splashing and breaching on the horizon along with small groups of Harbour Porpoise. The bird sightings included White-tailed Eagles, Gannets, Shearwater, Storm Petrels, Skuas, Auks and Kittiwakes. Common and Grey Seals in healthy numbers during our island landing for lunch. Another amazing experience of Hebridean wildlife!
