A wildlife cruise worker has shared the incredible moment she was able to get up and close and personal with a pod of humpback whales.
Rosie Barrett, 25, who is originally from Benfleet in Essex but is currently based in Gairloch, was even more excited by the fact the sighting came exactly two years after her very first one of these wonderful creatures.
"This particular encounter was special as it came exactly two years after seeing my first Humpback whales," Rosie explained. "Humpbacks are my absolute favourites and so to see them in the wild in UK waters is just something I am so humbled and delighted to see."
