Episode#18: Spotting humpback whales in Cornwall

This episode discusses the incredible humpback whales which - if you’re lucky - you can spot off the coast of Cornwall between November and March.

These amazing mammals are about the size of a bus and undertake some of the longest migrations of any mammal. Humpback whales can be found in all of the oceans of the world, but in the last few years have been increasingly spotted in Cornwall.

Tom speaks with two Cornwall Wildlife Trust volunteers who are absolutely passionate about humpback whales. We find out all about these amazing animals, what it’s like to catch a glimpse of one, and where you might go to have the best chance of a sighting.
