🐋 Humpback whales have been spotted off the coast of Donegal for the first time in almost 25 years
A humpback whale named Spot has been seen off the coast of County Donegal - the first time the species has been recorded in north west waters for almost 25 years.James Garvey from Rossnowlagh Surf School witnessed the "majestic" animal breaching on Tuesday."I don't know the odds of winning the lottery but this was the same thing for a whale lover. A nature lover's lottery win," he said.
Mr Garvey said he chartered a boat with his friend and headed out to witness 10 minke whales and an estimated 500 common and bottlenose dolphins."Every time you meet a whale it's just an incredible experience. It's breath-taking every time, given their size, but it's just breath-taking anyway, and how curious they are about people.
"Basically it's a pretty rare occurrence that a humpback whale would be spotted in Donegal Bay, but for one to put on an incredible performance just half an hour from Rossnowlagh is just unbelievable. "We saw a huge array of whale behaviour including four huge breaches, bubble-netting and fluke-slapping."
