Hook Head Humpback can be seen from shore. South of Baginbun Head, Hook Peninsul, Wex

[Brendan Burgess]

The Humpback Whale is still around and is quite close to the shore.

This must be the best chance to see a Humpback breaching that any of us will have for some time.

The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group is reporting on its progress.

I was very lucky to go on a whale-watching trip last summer in Brier island, Nova Scotia.

One breached very close to the boat.

They have awful bad breath. There were 6 whales together which we were told was unusual.

I must try and make it to see Hook

God decided to leave them that way as they have nowhere to keep whale-sized toothbrushes and toothpaste.

I suspect that there's a good reason for not having toothbrushes. They are baleens.

The males are very good at singing - apparently - just like Lex who is liable to burst into song in his comfortable watering hole.
