There was a rather unusual visitor to Peel at the weekend.
At Sunday lunchtime a humpback whale was spotted around 50 metres off-shore.
Adults can range between 12 and 16 metres in length, and often leap out of the water.
Co-ordinator of the Manx Whale and Dolphin Watch, John Galpin says the humpback is usually seen around the west coast of Ireland at this time of year.
Anyone who has any photographs is asked visit the website, www.mwdw.net.
