Hong Kong Humpback Update

According to the Standard this morning, the Hong Kong Humpback has moved slowly from the Lamma channel to Po Toi (perhaps lured by the excellent seafood restaurant that we were at 10 days ago).  According to the article, experts now think that it may be a confused juvenile. It’s probably confused because it’s wondering what happened to the visibility and where all the fish are! Anyway the theory is that the whale has lost its sense of direction and is confused by the shallow water and heavy sea traffic.

Hopefully in a couple more days it will have got back to open water and be able to reorient itself and head to the Arctic feeding grounds.
