Another one I've not seen, looks like it's becoming quite a long tour of the Scottish Isles!! Was it cruising like that Snappy, or did you time the shots as it surfaced?

It was moving fairly slow PB, so I had time to focus when it appeared on the surface. I am not sure, their could have been more than one. Definitely easier than the common porpoises, I had no keepers from them....
