Grey whale dips into Burrard inlet to pay respects to Stanley Park deer

A grey whale has made its way into Burrard Inlet today, likely drawn by the salmon that are making their way into the nearby rivers.

Catherine Urquhart from Global shared this image of it early in the afternoon as it was off Ambleside...
