Any idea yet on what this was?

It doesn't look like any dolphin species to me - Grey Whale (young one?) perhaps????

Perhaps there is a less surprising explanation.

I'm thinking now that Humpback is a possibility - hedging my bets!

Humpback whale

Humpback whale, reportedly - first for Hong Kong; perhaps the most exciting marine life sighting for years.
News showed it near Stanley (south of Stanley?) today

Heard of it heading towards Cheung Chau this evening; may have a look for it near CC in the morning.
