OMG!! If anyone wants a chance to see a humpback whale in the Irish Sea, there’s been one tail slapping continuously off Larne, Co. Antrim for 20 minutes! @IWDGnews pic.twitter.com/HpwcQbG13p

No further sign of humpback whale up to 6pm. Let’s hope it resurfaces. Here’s a heavily cropped shot of the tail. Will post more footage later after I stop shaking and work out how to remove the swearing! pic.twitter.com/VJCFqN1sbq

No sign of the humpback off Larne this morning but did see my first Arctic Skuas of the year harassing Sandwich Terns! Full report & photos from yesterday now submitted to @IWDGnews – hope they can find a match. The first image here is unedited to show just how far away it was. pic.twitter.com/G5qV0wXyNX

The green buoy you can see in the videos and photos is a marker at Larne Harbour, meaning the whale was at least 1.3km offshore. pic.twitter.com/DlwqE73Bxh
