Skye Day Five - Basking Shark Breach 1

About 30 yards offshore (with me about 20 yards from the shore), pretty heavy crop from a 200mm lens. At first, out of the corner of my eye, I thought this was a large porpoise. It jumped another three times, before settling close to shore, with only the dorsal fin showing, before disappearing entirely.
