Humpback whales singing off Galley Head County Cork

Recording by Eugene McKeown of Biospheric Engineering of humpback whales singing and making low frequency pulses whilst feeding off the south coast of Ireland. Thanks to Biospheric Engineering for allowing us to use these recordings, probably the first ever made of humpback whales singing in Irish waters.
NOTE: The sounds presented in this video have been edited and are not presented in the format they were recorded, neither do they relate to the whales surfacing behaviour
