| Monica | 3 August | In June we were lucky enough to watch the graceful, gentle Basking Sharks daily, 12 - 15 at a time stretching from Nanquidno Valley Cove along to Sennen Cove - their huge fins breaking through the water - Sennen is one of the most beautiful magical spots in the country - must be!........dolphins, seals, and basking sharks think so too. |

| Brian | 2 August | Lots of basking sharks in and around the Cove this week. This canoeist had a close-up view of one of them. http://www.poulty-towers.co.uk/sennencove/shark01.JPG |

We were very lucky to see a pod of basking sharks in Whitesands bay (Sennen) last year but after half an hour of watching the dorsel fins most holiday makers went back into the water knowing they were safe (could possibly have been boredom of no attacks on unsuspecting holiday makers (not that a basking shark would at all) There were lots of people with their cameras out and a few people pestered the sharks in boats - leave them alone - they want their lunch in peace!. While we were in Sennen the year before there were reports of a Mako shark in Cornish waters. I was luck enough (twenty something years ago) to be in Prussian Cove (a few miles round the cost) and swam alongside a basking shark! (actually it came and swam along side me, I didn't even know it was there until I saw my parents waving franticly from the beach and the shark went gracefully past! They are beautiful creatures and I feel lucky that my children and I have had the great fortune to see them in Cornwall.

right, lets put this to bed before it starts. 1st of all, the piece of film if thats what it can be called could have been taken anywhere in the world. secondly its about as clear as mud. thirdly it was released on a day when JAWS was on the telly in the evening, fourthly it was sent too, and released by the sun newspaper whose credability has to be questioned anyway. theres more fact in the beano than the sun newspaper.. reports of a great white being seen off the north cornwall coast also came about in 2003, once again heavily publised in the sun newspaper and once again proven to be nonsense. as for basking shark, i think thats way off the mark as well.. |
