Shark Details
In addition to feeding, moving east and then west there were three couples going nose to tail in tight circles. All animals appeared very large with big triangular fins.
Environment Details
Light winds, tide coming in at Smeale. Comment from Jackie Hall: Goodness! 25 sharks! This is typical end of season behaviour, large groups of basking sharks congregating at the very north of the Isle of Man. I wish I'd seen it!
