Oh wow,that is just a beautiful sight .
Did you see footage going round showing the rescue of a beached young great white (not this country obviously!) I could try and link it here if you want to

Sharks LOL, technically maybe, just 3ft or 4ft fish in reality.

So what if they are only 1.5 metres still a shark and it is still a lovely sight seeing those fins flitting around .

With that take on it a Great White is just in reality a 6 metre fish.

Fascinating, I've never seen anything like that in this country.

They are starry smooth-hounds according to the Mirror.

Lovely.

In fairness a nurse shark is just a 9ft fish but when she swims less than two feet over your head, you still go wow.....

They rarely make anywhere near 1.5m, you obviously googled, 30-90cm is the average catch in real life.

No a great white is an impressive top predator, not a big fish.

The fish in the article are actually very stressed out and in danger - if you think that is a wonderful natural sight, well great.

No not Google, it is in the article. Apparently a normal type of feeding area for them aswell, so why do you think they are stressed out and in danger? An explanation would be far more helpful than the snide remarks. Obviously if I thought they were stressed I would not have said it was a beautiful sight but the reports were that they were feeding and they didn't seem frantic, so not sure why I'd have thought they were in danger

Predatory as they are Great White are still fish, how can you say otherwise!!
