A Humpback Whale has been spotted in Manx waters for the first time in six years.
The Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch took to social media to share the news.
It says 'for the first time since 2017', a Humpback Whale has been photographed off the coast of the Island.
The mammal was spotted 1/2 mile from the shore between Peel and Niarbyl on Tuesday (July 11).
Two locals saw it 'leap vertically out of the water facing towards them' seeing the entire body, head, and flippers with only its tail remaining under the water.
The last Humpback Whale confirmed in Manx waters was in 2017 and prior to that, there were sightings in 2013 and 2010.
