    I have been seeing this whale for the last few weeks. I am the captain of one of the ferries running between Rossaveal and the Aran Islands. I wasn't sure if it even was a whale or just a fat dolphin. Hard to tell when all you see is his back as he comes up to breath. Until this evening. About 50 yards off my Port bow he breached. Straight up out of the water and fell back with a MASSIVE splash. And he did it 8 or 10 times. One of the passengers recorded him on his phone and gave me the footage. Unfortunately I can not upload it here.
    Add this to the fact that there is now a resident dolphin in Inis Oirr and I am almost at Marine Mammal overload.
    And I still have np idea what kind of whale it is.

    Upload it to YouTube and post the link here.
