Humpback whale feeds off Aberdeenshire coast

Lee Watson, a volunteer with British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), spotted a Humpback whale near Newburgh beach in Aberdeenshire.

The whale can be seen "lunge feeding". It swims through a shoal of fish with its mouth wide open, bursting through the surface of the water.

Conservationists believe Humpbacks are returning to former feeding grounds as the global population recovers.
