A SOUTHERN right whale and her calf have delighted beachgoers as they passed through Tamarama and Bondi, frolicking with surfers just metres from shore.

Surfers have told how the playful pair appeared unphased by the extra attention as they swam down the coast.

By the time mother and baby were sighted off Bondi Beach, officials had established an exclusion zone, ensuring swimmers were kept back as the mammals frolicked.

It is not unusual to spot southern rights off Sydney at this time of year - they migrate to southern waters during the winter months.
