Have you ever heard a song on the radio and then ended up humming it all day well you are not alone the male humpback whales do the same.

Scientists from Australia have found that whale mating songs are picked up and copied by other males.

These sounds sometimes thousands of miles across the seas and oceans.

The humming happens during the breeding season when the males sing songs to attract females.

You wont spot any Whales on your Canal Boat Holiday but we can still promise your very own nature watch.

The canals are easily accessible and free to explore on a Canal Boat Holiday and they are the ideal destination for nature lovers.
