Courting Humpback Whales captured mating on film

I know we saw the Heat Run in the David Attenborough LIFE programme but we didn't see the mating. Well this photographer caught it on film for the first time ever they believe.

Thats brilliant LW. I've seen the run quite a few times, but to get the actual mating is a fantastic feat. Thanks for putting it on the forum

I've only ever seen the heat Run on the TV WS, it must be fantastic to actually see it and Oh Boy, I bet that photographer was so over the moon with his capture, its amazing. It was a brilliant watch on LIFE.
