Tresfon has been taking to the air for several years now, bringing those followers of his Facebook page award-winning photographs taken from his trusty gyrocopter.

If you’re not already one of his 55 000 followers, we strongly suggest you do so.

On his most recent excursion, Tresfon photographed no fewer than 62 Southern right whales in one frame after receiving reports of an increase in numbers along the Overberg coast.
