He said: “My girlfriend and I were on the coastal path near Zennor on Tuesday this week, and saw a humpback whale breaching and jumping out of the water multiple times.

“It seemed to be enjoying itself. We’ve submitted a sighting report to the Seawatch Foundation.

“We took some photos of the breaching, and of the whale waving its pectoral fin.

The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale and adults range up to more than 50ft in length can weigh around 25–30 metric tonnes.
