Dan Lettice was out with our skipper Rory Jackson, the man behind West Cork Ocean Tours, when they spotted the whale – a 70ft fin whale!
“It was great to see. I’ve seen a lot of whales over nearly 20 years but I have been trying to get drone footage of one for the last two years and I was so delighted to finally succeed. I never tire of seeing whales, they never stop amazing me,” Dan said. You can see his documentation of the wonders of West Cork wildlife at his facebook page or on his instagram account.
You can see the full report at the Irish Examiner here with Dan’s drone footage from the day. You never know who you’ll see when we are out on the water.
