Huge column of them as far as the eye could see.Definitely 1000+. I also saw a small shark in the shallows by the weigh scale. Got some video. Missed the whales but thought I saw harbour porpoise. Most gannets seemed to be successful after the diving as I saw them swallowing when they bobbed to the surface...back up to the sky again and right back in the water. Was pretty amazing!
