Spotted it just off Scrabster Harbour this evening around 5pm, went down to the harbour for a closer look and we got great views from the lighthouse. It headed off round holborn head about 45 mins later.

A Minkie Whale had been spotted by a friend in the bay earlier and I also saw 7 Harbour Porpoise in the bay this evening.

Thanks for the post kas, never seen 1 of those giants but live in hope.
Basking shark in the River mouth at Wick near the North pool.
Earlier in the week 19th a Basking shark was reported at Staxigo.
Once quite rare this far North now they seem to be every where.
Many thanks to Alistair for the phone call.

Super kas, wish I was nearer to the sea
One Basking Shark reported in Brough Bay today.
Thankyou all for your reports, very much appreciated to know there are many about, I hope you all enjoyed seeing them. Birdie Wife, I am envious as I would love to have had such a close encounter with one. Shame you had not been out on your kayak on the morning of the 4th, as you could have had another amazing encounter, Killer Whales were reported just off Portskerra that day.

The miracle is not to fly in the air,
or to walk on the water,but to walk on the earth.
