Basking Sharks - Loop Head

 So word was out among social wildlife groups and the public that Basking Sharks were breaching off Loop Head.

 Over the few days the reports were amazing as were some of the people photos and coverage of the phenonium , I grabbed a few hours Saturday morning and took down some of the kids on a promise that they`ll see sharks`..

Id seen this spectacle a few years back

Today was a bit different, Slightly overcast, with a light east wind with no swell, we managed to see  over 30 breaches in the 2 hours that we stayed . It has to be said that getting photos of these 3 tonne beasts is no easy feat. you can never tell where they will come up until BOOM they are in the air and a Heavy splash gone .

There was one individual that was breaching way over near the Fodry point that was feckin Huge.
