A humpback whale has been spotted in Falmouth Bay.

Evocean Sailing have shared the footage from their sighting on Monday (5 June).

In a post on Facebook they said: "Yes we encountered a whale on our passage to Falmouth.

"We were at position 50°09.550N 4°52.400W, approximately 2nm south/south east of Gull Rock when we noticed it slapping its fin on the water before performing a breach!

"Apologies for the footage but it was rather rolly out there (not that that shows on camera!)."
