I am delighted to report that two of the basking sharks we put satellite tags on off the Manx coast last August have popped up in the last week. ‘Flowrider’ the large male shark who went all the way south to the Moroccan coast in January, has been off the French coast for a few days (see http://www.wildlifetracking.org/index.shtml?project_id=1123) and Celtic Scuff is coming up in the Celtic Deep. He appears to have been around that areas and edging into the Bristol Channel all winter.
