BAJA CALIFORNIA: A BRITISH RSPB conservation officer has captured stunning images of what could be the most attention-hungry whales on the planet. Taken during their annual migration, pictures show how one of the 36-tonnes sea beasts breached the waves just ten-feet from a stunned boatload of tourists, before introducing her baby calf to the delighted group. The little grey whale, which could one-day grow as long as a London bus at 45-feet long, can clearly be seen making eye-contact as one of the awestruck seafarers strokes its head.
