Whales & Little Birds

Minke Whales

There were as many as 40 Minke Whale, 60 Dolphin & one Humpback Whale seen from Fair Isle for about a week in a feeding frenzy. Sometimes I could see them from my house or garden. Sometimes they were very close to shore. Sometimes the Whales were quite distant and binoculars really helped get a better view. Still, it is always an amazing sight to see a Whale. I found Minke Whales much harder to photograph than Killer or Humpback Whales, Minke Whales are much faster with smaller fins and a less obvious spout or spray to alert you to their presence. These are a few photos I got while the Whales were close to shore.

  3. "Whales" and "little birds" represent different sizes of creatures in the animal kingdom. Whales are massive, like the blue whale, while "little birds" are small-sized avian species with agility, colorful plumage, and melodious songs. The phrase "whales and little birds" metaphorically contrasts the size, importance, influence, or power of large corporations and small businesses fairfax drug crime lawyer.
