Pretty good sign of tuna and possibly dolphin action is these 'boils' where there are lots of fish.

Bluefin Tuna - English Channel

Tharr she blows! - a group of 4 fin whales on the way back near Plymouth

The white to the right of the blow is its jaw on the side - its lunge feeding

Then it rolls back down - its body is a lot longer than whst you see above the surface

More fin whale during a roll

There is actually a fin whale in the middle of this picture - can you see it?
