A #humpback #whale was spotted off the British coast of #Kent, according to the BBC. The sighting was reported to the Kent Dolphin Project, which solicits local footage of whales, porpoises, and dolphins to monitor population health.
Volunteers were quite excited by the find. Humpback #whales were previously endangered, but conservation efforts have helped populations rebound. There have been other recent sightings of humpbacks in #Cornwall & #Sussex.

The Cheesewring, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
A natural geological granite formation shaped by weathering. In the late C19 it was threatened by its proximity to blasting at the Cheesewring Granite Quarry but it was saved through protests by local people.
