Whales and ocean in Mirissa and Trincomalee

Whales and ocean

37 photographs, made between 2016 and 2026 in Mirissa and Trincomalee.

Balaenoptera musculus. The continental shelf comes close to shore off the south coast, which puts blue whales within an hour of the harbour for five months of the year.

Roughly a third of these frames came from four animals I have followed since 2019 — the Kumbukkan female, her two surviving daughters, and the big male the trackers call Neluma.

Where the money from this collection goes

Ten per cent of every print sold funds collaring and camera-trap work with the Wilderness & Wildlife Conservation Trust. Since 2021 that has come to just over $14,000.
