MANY South Coast residents have an affinity with humpback whales but one recently had a rare and close experience with the giants of the sea.

Photographer Attila Bicskos from Tomerong captured this image while shooting in the waters around Tonga’s Vavau Island.

“That area is renowned for whales migrating, they come there and calve, then the calves stick around long enough to get enough food for the migration.
