Do you know if the animals have been re-sighted since Thursday?<br />Danielle Gibas<br />Sightings Officer, Sea Watch FoundationSea Watch Foundationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623886304720141260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939402837897503364.post-49568922744822808872013-04-28T14:19:19.973+01:002013-04-28T14:19:19.973+01:00Hi, I can assure you that they were definitely spe...Hi, I can assure you that they were definitely sperm whales from the blow spout shape, colour, habits, dorsal fin shape, fluke size and experience of observers.

I Suspect That they were Actually pilot Whales, from the description & number of Animals & behaviour. Pilot whales Are black, while Sperm whales normally appear brownish.
