Martin Parker captured video of a humpback whale breaching near the Devon coast on March 13. Delighted spectators gathered on the cliff side at Berry Head in Brixham to watch the event.

Parker was prompted to film the incident after hearing rumors of a whale in the area.

“It was an amazing chance encounter, we had heard it was in the bay, but I don’t think anyone expected to see it as clearly as we did today,” he told Storyful.
