Poor sardines...

Humpback whales are all over the fjords now.
Such a great and powerful animal
3 of them came up right after the sardines.

They hunt by circle the sardines and blow air into the water.
That forces the fish up and the whales follows with their 30 tons of flesh
And the mouths wide open...

nice catch Heige, love the front of that whale

This is great!
You have three different stages of the whales breaking the surface.
The kayak is a nice touch also.

Whales gotta eat too.

Thank you, yes they comes up to the surface behind each other. I guess it't their hunting technique? Or bad timing...

Yes - great action composition with the detail of the fish; you don't see that very often. That whale reminds me of an old Buick Roadmaster grill .

awesome

Several of them almost got hit! They didn't pay attention. Others stayed at a good distance but they had been closer before.
