Littlespot

Hi Everyone
Yesterday i went out whale watching and about 4 miles off the Island we sighted two humpback whales named Little Spot and Pierce. After we watched them awhile we travelled down further and spotted two more humpbacks bubble net feeding. We identified them as New Moon and Sunburst. Harold our captain noticed on the sounder alot of feed close to the surface and everyone was dining on it.Also circling the area were 2 minke whales, and habour seals. Some of the birds we noticed were Greater and Sooty Shearwaters, Northern Fulmars, Wilson's storm petrels, Northern Gannet, a puffin and 1 Black and White warbler flying around our boat. Got a picture of it in mid flight!
