When wildlife photographer Florian Walsh noticed “activity” in the waters off Ventry Bay Beach, near Dingle in Ireland, he raced back home knowing he and his friends were witnessing something rare.
Walsh picked up his drone, drove back to the grey glass harbour and launched the device, in the hopes of recording the rare shiver of “very large sharks”.
He told 9news.com.au the scenes he captured on April 29 – are ones he “will never forget”.
“As soon as I got the drone up my jaw dropped,” he said.
“It was just absolutely mind-blowing to see so many in one place. The harbor was full of them, I would say that there was about 40-plus sharks.
“I noticed a few kayakers which was perfect to use as a scale as they are very large sharks.”
