Rare beluga whale spotted swimming off Shetland coast

A drone captured amazing footage of a beluga whale swimming off the coast of Shetland.

The whale can be seen dipping in and out of the icy water - blowing water out of its blowhole.

Richard Shucksmith, 50, an ecologist and wildlife photographer, captured the rare sighting after being alerted to the presence of the whale by locals.
