Friday we also found 4 Southern Right Whales half way between Limestone Head and Bald Head. We had heard there were 4 Southern Rights at Two Peoples Bay the previous Monday. Saturday after watching the cow and calf, we found 5 humpbacks in 2 pods. Sunday we watched mother and calf and then found 3 humpbacks just a little further east. Sunday afternoon we found them again. With 3 more humpbacks out a little once again. In the time we have watched the mother and calf we have seen the cow breach several times. I have never seen a cow with such a young calf breach ever before. We are told that until a humpback calf is about 14 days old their dorsal fin will be bent over. As you can see from the picture this calf fits that description.
