Pitt Island Humpbacks

Quite often we see the Humpback Whale in its natural environment on the coast, but only a few times have I seen them bubble feed within focal range. Not only is it tricky to find them feeding on the rare occasion, its difficult to capture them on film as they lunge out of the water because they are quick and always appear to be exactly where you are not looking. I saw them lunge out three times and only once was I semi close. Amazing to see the gaping mouth of a Humpback open wide and the huge amount of water spill out as they filter out there food. Spectacular!
