Basking Shark - Fair Isle |
Basking Shark!
Wow! I've have wanted to see one since before I moved here 9 years ago...
It's a self found lifer and wildlife tick.
In autumn 2006, two months before moving to Fair Isle, We saw a posting of a Basking Shark sighting on Fair Isle. I said to 5 year old Henry, "We are going to see Basking Sharks!" 9 years later... We finally saw one today! So it took a while... but, I had great views today! Awesome!
and I had my camera!
