Save A southern right whale and her calf were spotted in Christchurch's New Brighton Beach, delighting surfers at the weekend.
It was captured on camera by Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board member Jo Zervos on Sunday.
"How amazing, the whales went right up to the surfers and circled around them with curiosity,"
she said in a post on social media.
The footage shows two surfers in the water with the mother and calf playing near them.
