I saw my first Great Whale!

Hello friends technoupdatviral, on this occasion the admin wants to share an article entitled I saw my first Great Whale!, we have made good, quality and useful articles for you to read and take information in. hopefully the post content is about Natural history, which we write you can understand. Alright, happy reading.
I've never seen a Great Whale with my own eyes before and on 18 August 2019 it was a dream come true!  For those that don't know me, I am a massive animal and natural history lover and have a significant passion for }-wh^ale>.  They're mysterious and magnificent creatures and ones I have a strong spiritual connection to, which led me to getting an Orca tattoo on my leg to honour my passion for cetaceans.  And yes I know Orca is a dolphin not a whale but it's still a cetacean.  😉

Whilst holidaying in Madeira I collected a number of leaflets of local whale and dolphin trips, as well as being informed of the hotel (TUI) excursions.  I settled for Ventura Nature Emotions.  I've done many 'family boat trips' so I felt that this one was the best to get me closer to seeing whales.  This company is purely focused on searching for cetaceans and had a marine biologist on board that knew species and their behaviours.

Our skipper was told by the inland spotter that a whale was sighted, I felt a bit numb.  Out comes Bryde's whale, not one but two, a mother and a calf.  I know they are often sighted at this time of year, but it's not guaranteed, as wildlife tends to be.  I was hoping to see one during the trip and I got my dream come true.  Incredible experience that I’ll never forget.  On our trip we also saw spotted dolphins, a 50+ group and a smaller juvenile group, a couple of loggerhead sea turtles and a flying fish.

Excuse the expletives, I was just overwhelmed.  A tough task as I had to record and nurse a sea sick Gary.  Here's a short video of my first and long awaited experience of seeing a Great Whale!  Now I have the taste to see more in the wild...  As always, recordings don’t give the experience justice – the Bryde’s whales were closer than it looked.
