Thar she blows...

When Steve's Facebook page signalled that there were whales at Bashams Beach yesterday we decided to give our whale-watching luck one more go before the season ends. The beach is a 10-minute drive from home and we were soon seeking a parking spot along with many others. High on the hill overlooking the beach we could see dark shapes moving through the water; a tourist boat lying further afield.

This was as close as my close-up lens could get.

We hastened down the hill to the viewing platform where I was able to see a bit more. Sadly, no breaching, but it was exciting to see these Southern Rights rolling over and over and frolicking together.

 And... thar she blows. If you look very carefully at this next photo you'll spot the faint watery shower emerging from the spout.
