Found 2 big brutes today. 2w Glaucous gull in Mid Yell also Iceland still there.
Then found a Humpback whale from Unst and it did the decent thing and came close to the ferry on way back to Yell, where it continued north through Bluemull sound and out to sea.

Amazing Humpback Whale encounter west of #Mull yesterday aboard Sealife Mull @StaffaTours! Identified as 095 @HumpbackId. Having seen a few too distant to confirm blows from my @Nature_Scotland land tours this week, these views made up for it! @HWDT_org

Incredible to watch a Humpback Whale today between Staffa and Iona. In nearly 50 years of boat trips there aren’t many things left that we haven’t yet seen, but this was a first!
