Dolphins and Minke whale -Shetland

 A large pod of dolphin passed Sumburgh Head the other day. These were a long way out even using a 800mm lens and a big crop

anyway these became good enough to use as ID and they turned out to be a mix of White Beaked and White sided Dolphin, more than 100 in the pod

The pod was well spread out but very active and were joined by a small pod of porpoise and a couple of Minke Whales

Sumburgh Head is always a good spot for whale watching
