The whales are back!
On a calm day, you can see them just off Albany’s Middleton Beach.
The large island in the photo is Michaelmas. The smaller one on the right hand side is Breaksea Island (1914 home of Fay Howe) … and the shadow in front of Breaksea is a Southern Right whale. There were about six lolling about yesterday. They raised tails and flukes, but I wasn’t quick enough with the camera. Jessica was though, check out her photo at http://www.albanygateway.com.au/blog/attachment/1228/
