As we sailed back from Spain last week the horrendous seas caused by the tail end of Hurricane Henri started to quell. Looking over the edge of the deck rail I reckon we saw around 20+ Sunfish. This one had just the tip of one fin poking out of the waves.

When I go as a volunteer on whale watching trips in Spain, we often see sunfish. They’re incredibly common in Mediterranean waters. They’re sometimes the only thing you see all day so they’re always a welcome sight.
We once came across one here in Norfolk Alistair but unfortunately it had died probably of shock due to low temperatures.

I’d be interested in your whale watching off Spain. Who do you use and where do you go Alistair?
