Shark Details
Possibly the smallest basking shark I have ever seen. Smallest I have ever seen was 1.5m but this was probably 75 -90cm. I got close to its tail & dorsal fin & it must have been just slightly larger than a standard 30cm ruler.
Straight line swimming close in to the bay at low tide.
I have a decent video too. Comment from Jackie Hall: See Ian's video on the Manx Basking Shark Watch Facebook page).
