Basking Sharks have been in the bay for the past month but these ones today were off Maen Cliff, a short walk up the cliffside from Sennen. A popular spot for climbers, Oxford University students were scaling the cliffs today, the granite outcrop afforded a great view of these monsters of the deep. Their huge jaws hoover up the plankton and they can usually be seen from somewhere along the coastal path around Lands End at this time of year. Two large ones and a baby were basking close in to the shore around the Cowloe Rocks allowing me to get close enough for these photos.
