A Pod of Humpback Whales cruising the South West Coast of Australia

Here we have 4k drone footage of a pod of Humpback Whales cruising along the Coast of South Western Australia, near Bremer Bay during the whale migration.

Notice one of the Humpbacks is blowing bubbles underwater:

It’s been established that humpbacks release large quantities of bubbles in rings out of their blowholes to corral schools of krill and small fish, which makes hunting the one to one-and-half tons of food they need to eat each day much easier. But researchers now think humpbacks’ bubble blowing may have other uses, too, first and foremost as an important form of communication. And it’s a form of communication that comes with a serious risk: drowning.

Enjoy this footage as much as I enjoyed recording it. It was "breath taking"
