Humpback Whales feeding frenzy

Up to 15 Humpback Whales, 100+ Dolphins and possibly a Fin Whale or two have been feeding just off Valentia Island for the past week or so, and drawing a large gathering of seabirds. They are easily visible in calm weather from the land with binoculars and are repeatedly lunge feeding.
