This is the incredible moment when a humpback whale was spotted leaping out of the water in the River Clyde.
The huge mammal was spotted swimming off the coast of Dunoon by stunned passers-by on Sunday morning. Dawn Petherick, a shamanic healer and retreat leader from Innellan in Argyll, captured the rare moment on camera.
After being alerted to a sighting on their Clyde Cetaceans Sightings WhatsApp group at around 9.30am, the 59-year-old raced down to the shore to catch a glimpse.
