MV Osprey and her crew have located an extremely large pod of 10 – 15 Humpback Whales close to Fingal Island on our first whale watch cruise of the day. The pod included at least five very boisterous males that were clearly vocalising and grunting to show their dominance to others within the pod in an active and fast-paced heat run. The whales were darting about in different directions, and eventually breaking away into smaller pods. Just before moving away from the whales Skipper Ben has spotted a breaching whale not too far away and has taken a chance and cruised the boat toward the whale, but of course, murphy’s law as we got closer the whale had stopped breaching!
