    A drone camera has captured stunning footage of two huge whales as they swam alongside a paddle boarder in the crystal-clear ocean.

    Jaimen Hudson wasted no time in heading down to the beach with his drone after realising the magnificent creatures had been spotted off shore, close to his house in Esperance, Western Australia.

    After a year underwater, his GoPro proved him wrong.
