Sperm whale sighting

Home / whale diaries / Sperm whale sighting

After a long scout on our afternoon tour today we were rewarded with a close-up sperm whale sighting. The whale lifted its fluke right next to our boat as he went down for a deeper dive. After a quick check with our sperm whale ID chart it turns out that this was indeed the very first sperm whale identified in the summer 2014 – BF001, nicknamed “Smaug”. Good to see he’s still around!
