•Humpback whales make splash in UK as sightings are reported in Sussex
76% Informative
Humpback whales have been spotted all along the UK 's South East coast since the start of the year .
Stunning videos show the 40-tonne mammals breaching above the waves in majestic leaps.
Humpbacks spend the winter up in Arctic circle feeding on krill and herring before heading southwards at start of year.
Experts say sightings in the UK are not unheard of, but that it is rare for humpbacks to travel up the East Coast .
Global ocean temperatures have risen in recent decades due to human-caused climate change.
Meanwhile, overfishing has depleted stocks of key species leading to significant changes in the distribution of humpback whales' feeding grounds.
This has led to concerns that whales might be travelling out of their normal routes to seek out a dwindling food supply.
