TRANSLATION:
Jake Henry, Skipper, from AK Wildlife Cruises, said sightings had been increasing over the last decade, with whales arriving earlier and staying longer.
“It never gets old, just to see something that sheer size always takes your breath away.”
Prof Peter Evans, director of the Seawatch Foundation – which monitors sightings, said the whales’ growing presence was closely tied to food availability.
“The main period that they’ve been seen is winter, from November through to March,” he said.
That timing matches the seasonal boom in herring numbers, a favourite food.

According to Wales and West Utilities workers exposed a granite marker stone buried beneath the road surface in Greenmarket in Penzance.
The find has been identified as the site of the Borough Cross, which once marked the exact centre of the town.
The original Borough Cross, which now stands outside Penlee House Gallery and Museum, had been moved to make way for road widening in 1829, and a granite marker was embedded in the road to keep the historic centre visible.
The cross dates back to 1614, when the town’s boundaries were drawn as a circle half a mile from the Market Cross, according to Penzance Council.

The festive tradition at the National Trust’s Cotehele site started in 1956.
The process of making the garland needs a year from sowing seeds, harvesting and drying the flowers for them to be ready to be carefully used in the garland which is about 18m long.
Gardener Kay Lyle, who is in charge of it for the first time, said: “We’ve had a phenomenal year for growing. I think the combination of a really good summer and that nice balance of sun but not too much wet, the plants loved it and grew in massive numbers.”
That’s all from me, have a good week.
PRESENTER: Thank you – this week’s An Nowodhow was written and read by Kensa Broadhurst and the editor was Wella Morris.
