Whale watching during survey

Thursday, 13 October 2011 15:59

During a survey on an offshore windfarm site, Jean and Samuel from G-tec witnessed a whale jumping in the vicinity of the boat.

 

The animal was filmed in the vicinity of the Thornton sandbank at 25km off the coast. It is a young humpback.

Apparently it is the first time a humpack whale was observed along the Belgium coast.

 

This spectacle can be seen on http://www.deredactie.be.Gtec : Whale Watching - Windfarms Environment

 

The whale became already a national celebrity :
