Basking Shark at Roseisle this morning!
Was wonderful to share the experience with a visiting family who borrowed my binoculars and the young lad telling everyone else who came to the beach he saw the shark 🦈😊

I can’t believe it on Sunday night I saw another basking shark this time at Nairn Beach. What a week it’s been for marine sightings this week: porpoise, bottlenose dolphins, basking sharks, seals & a minke whale!

Close encounter! Can you identify if this is a whale 🐋 or a basking shark?
No spouts spotted and it circled the same area for around 20 mins Location: Firth of Forth, Scotland, yesterday. @SteveBackshall
I thought Basking Shark was 3 fish when I first saw it years ago, here enjoying a close-in feed with its little sidekick which I think is a small Minke, maybe young, unless anyone knows different? @birdinglothian@ELCrangers@EdinburghNats
Incredible start to the day today as we spotted a #baskingshark🦈 cruising along the coast just behind the harbour. There have been a number of sightings this week from the Fife coast, Dunbar & now here.

What a treat for our passengers on board the Hjalmar Bjorge on a recent cruise with our Northern Light Cruising Co brand. A breaching basking shark - superb! What do you reckon @SteveBackshall ? 🦈
A rough old week at sea but there’s a lot of food for the big fish. High winds can break up plankton aggregations meaning sharks stay sub-surface. However along with ocean currents they can also supercharge it to make optimal conditions for feeding. #baskingshark#baskingsharks
