A woman has shared the "incredible" moment she caught sight of what is believed to be a humpback whale splashing around on the Devon coast. Frequent Berry Head visitor Jade Moore, captured the "beautiful" creature on video after hearing a loud blowing sound from the coastline.

Jade said she was sat near the lighthouse at Berry Head on Monday evening (June 18) looking out for dolphins, which are frequently spotted in the waters. "I often go to Berry head to spot dolphins and it was a beautiful sunny evening," she said.

"Whilst looking out to the left, suddenly I heard a huge blow to the right hand side of me. I thought in my head that was so loud I wonder if that could have been a whale. When I turned around I could see faintly through the water it was a whale! I was so excited," she added.
