FAVOURITE THINGS FRIDAY - Migaloo

Do you remember when I wrote this post about the pure white humpback whale Migaloo?

He is one of the many humpback whales that travel up the east Australian coast every year from Antarctica on their way to warmer waters for the Winter.
It is there that their babies are born and when they return to Antarctica in the Spring they often stop off for a little R&R in the warm, protected waters of Hervey Bay, Queensland.

Making the news today is the sighting of a new, pure white baby whale.

    We love Migaloo as well and I missed this story, I wonder if it is his baby? The boys and I had a trip to the reef this last week and we were all looking for whales but didn't see any. Had a great day all the same, will have to blog about it as soon as I catch up with the monthly bookwork when kids go back to school tomorrow :-)

    What a marvellous story. Let's hope the white whale lives to a ripe old age in spite of the Japanese fishing industry and the fact that his albino skin will not give him the sort of protection from the sun that other humpbacks enjoy.
