I'm surprised this isn't already on here but Birdguides is reporting a Humpback Whale 2km off Hemsby at 08:45. I believe it was seen in the area yesterday.

Hi Steve, it's been around for a couple of days at least, possibly same individual returning for its 3rd year and likely to be around for a couple of weeks. Was intending to go tomorrow but this weekend's poor weather put me off though obviously this morning it was still seen despite the gales.

A wonderful sight to see off our coastline indeed.

We were thinking about going for this as well although the poor forecast made us think perhaps leave it to next weekend. However, the wind is due to drop overnight - a bit anyway.

Are you still thinking of going tomorrow guys?

We're going to give it a go tomorrow AM, starting at Winterton. Flasks of coffee in the kit I think. Hope to see a bit more than the odd 'blow' that we saw a couple of years ago, but I doubt it.

Well I spent a chilly afternoon there and failed to even see the blow. Although others did.
