It seems that there are more than just dolphins hanging around off the coast of Kerry these days. 

Noel O'Leary was kayaking near Dingle recently when he captured some pretty fantastic footage of the creature that was keeping him company in the water: a huge basking shark. 

Speaking to The Irish Examiner, O'Leary estimated that the shark was probably about 20 feet in length, and said that it "seemed curious with the kayaks", coming right up to him, as you can see in the footage.
