Found in all oceans, Humpback whales visit Donegal Bay to feed on dense shoals of fish.

A photograph captured of a humpback whale at Donegal Bay recently won a national photography competition, ‘My Favourite Waterbody’.

Moreover, there have also been sightings of a critically endangered pod of orcas off the Donegal Coast.
