This trip was highlighted by a massive feeding frenzy in which we were surrounded by a Humpback Whale, a number of Minke Whales and thousands of birds all diving into the water around us!
A real pleasure to guide on a tour like this, you can share in the awesome excitement of the spectacle and have the chance to get some great pictures. At the end of the tour a tourist actually asked if I was a bird watcher, apparently I was so excited at the birds feeding around us. Frankly I was so happy that when the whale disappeared there was still something to talk about!
It was a four species day, though the dolphins and minkes were quite elusive but the majority of my best pictures were the birds. Never been a bird enthusiast but its hard not to get excited about seeing them catch fish!
