Whale watching from the Daymark

The Daymark is a large red and white structure that sits high on the cliff at the far end of St Martin's. It does what it says, it's a non-illuminated navigational mark for shipping and a great place to admire the view, watch a storm or look for sea life. If you're lucky enough to spot a whale it's normally a fair way off and binoculars are often needed to see it blow or spot its fluke coming out of the water. So there we were staring out to sea hoping to spot something when we realised that a whale was hugging the coast and was literally under our noses. We managed to capture a little bit of video, click on the picture to enjoy.
