It's not uncommon in Newfoundland and Labrador to have beluga whales appear near community wharves and get close to people who come to see them.

The latest sighting was in Cape St. Charles in Labrador.

"Had a visitor at Cape St. Charles Oct. 1st. Beluga whale decided to stay for the day and have a little fun playing with the sea gulls," said Bob Pye.

Cape Charles, near Battle Harbour, is abandoned now, but is one of the oldest European settlements in Labrador.
