One of the last big fishes to come say hi last week before we left the islands! It was a fair size of fish when you see it next to the boat! Cearban Mhor is 12m long so how big do you estimate the shark to be? #baskingshark #baskingsharks #hebrides #scotland

Happy #WorldBaskingSharkDay to these gentle giants who, lucky for us, frequent Scottish waters every summer. Did you know they're the second largest fish in the world?!

@barrabirder @BarraIsland Quality - a few violets for us and skate egg but nothing too much! Thought the storm would end with more

Can you join us in September? Last spaces for our Autumn trips, courses & citizen science with Staffs Uni - https://t.co/DPxpAmkiPh

Krill today. Very exciting. First time we’ve seen them here

[BaskingSharkScotland @BaskingSharkSco]

Guess who!

Nice to see the return of the big laddie JC to the Hebrides after disappearing for a while. He’s getting on a bit now so never know when the last time is gonna be. Last sighting of Aquarius was down in Ireland which ain’t that far in a straight line from here.

Everything seemed to be on track again this year and the hunch proved to be right. Our first basking shark specific trip of the season scored big time today! 💙🦈🦈🦈☀️

[BaskingSharkScotland @BaskingSharkSco]

Right side of the forecast for once! ☀️☀️☀️☀️

[BaskingSharkScotland @BaskingSharkSco]

Fantastic to see this catshark laying an egg today. Once hatched the empty case can wash up on shore and are called mermaids purses.

One cancellation space on our 5 day tour starting Monday from Oban
