Amateur photographer films fin whale off Welsh coast

Amateur wildlife photographer Rhys Morgan filmed a fin whale while sailing with friends off Wales.

They spotted the whale’s blowholes in the distance near the Pembrokeshire coast.

Fin whales are among the largest whale species on Earth, and the footage shows one close enough to identify by its hooked tail fin and distinctive colouring.

The video has drawn attention to fin whales being hunted in Iceland.

People sharing it online are calling on government ministers to act.

The footage has brought a wildlife sighting in Welsh waters into a wider debate about whale hunting.

The sources do not say whether ministers have responded or what action may follow.
