Yorkshire Wildlife Trust said it is "rare" for a humpback to be spotted "this close inshore".

A volunteer marine animal medic has been tracking a humpback whale off the East Yorkshire Coast.

Beth Clyne, 25, who lives in Kilnsea, first saw the whale near Withernsea on 15 July.

It has since moved up to Easington and was last spotted in Kilnsea, Ms Clyne said.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust said it was “rare” for a humpback to be spotted “this close inshore and for consecutive days”.

    77 whales beached & died on Orkney very recently. 160 whales stranded/beached (130 saved) in Australia back in April.
    Are whales more consistently coming closer to land?
