“We had a real life experience watching a stunning humpback whale breach so many times,” he said.
“I’ve seen the whale before.
“It appeared below me as I watched from cliffs.
“But this was the best views of it breaching ever.”
The breathtaking footage was shot during a wildlife survey off Newquay, Cornwall.

“I saw the first on in that year off Towan head about 60-feet offshore.
“We have been blessed since then.”
“To see one breach like that was incredible.
“The whole body just lifted out, and to see it in front of you is such a sight.
“It was breathtaking to be honest.”
