Basking Sharks, the second largest fish on the planet, show up in large numbers off the Irish coast each summer. On a rare sunny day off the Irish coast, Colin finds himself surrounded by Basking Sharks. As three float alongside feasting on plankton, Colin describes it as the ultimate Irish wildlife experience.
