Minke whale around boat 2009-03-08
after having seen the seals, we continued our safari and found a young minke whale that was not at all shy! he swam around our boat in a circle and it was difficult to take pictures from the left side for Photo-identification…but in the end he showed his beautiful left side as well. since he was very young, he had no scars or nicks and we will not be able to recognize him again. we just hope he will not play with a whaler…
lately we also see many young birds coming out of their nests, shags, terns, black guillemots to name just a few.
the weather is amazing and we spend more time out at sea than at the computer, more news and pictures will follow on rainy days!
