Don't Land On Me Mum

A humpback mother lands a little too close to her calf after breaching. This image was taken in the shipping anchorage off Perth, Western Australia on November 12. Perth will be a short stopover for this mother and calf as they head to the humpback feeding grounds in Antarctic waters. One of their challenges is to avoid being run over in the busy shipping lanes.
