Videographer captures fin whale feeding off Welsh coast

A Welsh videographer has filmed a fin whale feeding close to the Pembrokeshire coast using a drone. Rhys Morgan, who works at an oil refinery in Houghton, captured the whale as it swam alongside dolphins. The footage shows the whale lunge feeding, which is when it opens its mouth wide to swallow huge amounts of water and krill. A fin whale can take in up to 18,000 gallons in a single lunge. Fin whales are the second-largest animals on Earth and live in oceans around the world, though they prefer cooler water. Morgan became interested in filming sea creatures after borrowing a friend's drone. Drone technology has allowed videographers to record animal behaviour that was very difficult to film before.
