Spotted 1.5 miles from Contrary Head
Photographs of a minke whale breaching near Peel are '100 per cent genuine'.
The Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch has confirmed the images, which have been shared widely on social media, are real.
They were snapped by Jane Young on Monday (7 June) at 10.30am whilst she and her husband were on a RIB around 1.5 miles from Contrary Head.
Two whales were feeding on a large bait ball for 30 minutes, along with hundreds of birds, when one propelled itself out of the water in a rarely seen breach.
