| Other Information: |
Ballafayle, South of Port Mooar. Alerted by large splash, we watched the water. Something huge and white bellied leapt upwards, fully out of the water. Another massive splash then dived out of sight. We were about half a mile inland. Almost certain from size that it was a whale. |
