A massive southern right whale has delighted and amazed onlookers off the coast of the eastern Bay of Plenty.
Whakatane David Marshall was at his Ōhope home on Tuesday when he spied an "odd looking wave" out to sea.
The Harcourts real estate agent said the "wave" was sitting just
beyond the Ocean Rd break and piqued his curiosity.
