This 7m basking shark is attracting wildlife enthusiasts after it took up residence in a picturesque bay once famous for slaughtering the enormous fish. The huge basking shark has been spotted feeding in Keem Bay, Achill Island, Ireland, every day for the past month. This stunning drone footage shows the shark cruising through the waters just metres from the shoreline. The bay was once home to the largest basking shark fishery in the world, and at its peak, up to 50 sharks were caught a day, before the trade ended in the 1980s. Achill Island Tourist Office videographer Sean Molloy captured this stunning clip of giant shark close to the shore.
