How can you tell the difference between a minke whale and a fin whale?

By the duration of the “waaoooowooo” 😆

Head to our main profile for the special story and more images of this spectacular sighting this week on a private charter to the Shiant Islands 🩵🐋

Our first sighting of a FIN WHALE this year! 😍

We took a special couple on a trip of a lifetime to the Shiant Islands and they saw rafts of puffins, guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, 2 sea-eagles, common dolphins and a minke.

On the return journey and with their cup over-flowing already, our guests spotted a big blow followed by dolphins chasing and then joining us. The dolphins stayed nearby but not engaging with us. Instead they were chasing a fin whale!! 🤩

It became clear this was no minke with a tall vertical blow creating a rainbow effect and 3 more appearances.

An AWESOME sighting of a fin whale, the second largest whale on the planet reaching up to 27m.

Credit to who was crewing for us and captured these unforgettable images 🙏

Does anyone recognise this beautiful dog? She was found on her own in the castle grounds, Stornoway and there doesn’t seem to be anyone looking.

She is being looked after until the owner comes forward.

Please direct any information to the Old Mill Vets on the number below. 🙏
