Minke Whale feeding off Deep Point, St Mary's, Scilly. This huge creature feasted off all it could for c. 5 hours, delighting both land-based and boat-based observers alike. At the end of the holiday I had yet more luck - seeing an even bigger Fin Whale from the Scillonian III boat midway between Scilly and Land's End.
