Hi,
Thanks for all your mails !
We received many advices about the blue/fin whale identification, but many people asked for better pictures to make a good choice.
At this step on 23 advices, 18% choosed pygmy blue whale, 60 % fin whale, 4% hybrid, 4% other (sei, bryde...), 14% impossible to choice.
Most reasons for fin choice was white right jaw, for blue whale dorsal placement.
4 people declared themselves as blue whale field specialist (sri lanka and pacific) and 2 were sure for blue whale and 2 for fin whale...
There are better pictures on this link (beware of color the photo were filtered) : http://nektos.net/?page_id=6
I hope we'll get this time a significative choice, or we'll have to call it the "flue" whale ;-)
regards,
