Balaenoptera acutorostrata (Minke Whale)  

Minke whales are frequently seen in coastal and in-shore waters around the Hebrides from April to October. The Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust has reported shown decline in sightings of minke whale in the Hebrides during recent years, which may be related to prey distribution and availability.
