Niamh Ní Dhrisceoil is well used to seeing all types of sea-life in her job as a skipper of the Cape Clear Ferry in County Cork, Ireland. In the summer of 2014, Niamh received unexpected joy at the sight of a friendly basking shark in the harbour, happily swimming alongside kayaks and others out enjoying the June weather.
Niamh managed to capture some fantastic photos and this video of the shark and its close interaction with the humans of Cape Clear Island. Credit: YouTube/ Niamh Ní Dhrisceoil, Cape Clear Ferry
