Shark surprises Cape clear beach goers

Beach goers in Cape Clear had a shock when they came across a huge basking shark off the coast. Swimmers and kayakers spotted the shark at South Harbour off the West Cork island and managed to capture it on video. Although it can be seen circling the bathers the animals only eat plankton, so there's no need for alarm as they're harmless to people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRIszk4Vth8&feature=youtu.be
