Movies WATCH Humpback Whales' Rare Incredible Performance in Donegal Bay

WATCH: Humpback Whales' Rare Incredible Performance Off Coast of Co Donegal

A humpback whale has been spotted off the coast of Co Donegal for the first time in almost 25 years.


Irish Central NEWS 26 JUNE 2023





A humpback whale named Spot was filmed leaping out of the water in Donegal Bay by James Garvey of the Rossnowlagh Surf School.





Footage of the whale posted on the Donegal surf school's social media accounts has amassed thousands since it was published on Wednesday afternoon, June 21.

"Dedicating this video to my Dad," Garvey said in a Facebook post with the video, "I feel your spirit in the Ocean."

Garvey likened the sighting to winning the lottery, describing it as a "phenomenal day."

"I don't know the odds of winning the lottery but this was the same thing for a whale lover. A nature lover's lottery win," Garvey told BBC News NI.

Garvey said he chartered a boat to see 10 minke whales and roughly 500 common and bottlenose dolphins before the "holy grail appeared."

"Every time you meet a whale it's just an incredible experience.

"It's breath-taking every time, given their size, but it's just breath-taking anyway, and how curious they are about people.

"Basically it's a pretty rare occurrence that a humpback whale would be spotted in Donegal Bay, but for one to put on an incredible performance just half an hour from Rossnowlagh is just unbelievable."
