There’s a resident pod off the shore of Orkney, their Facebook page is class, well worth a follow, some cracking pictures and very informative about the background of any cetaceans that appear off Orkney, possible sighting of a minke whale this morning
Me too. More like Wolves of the seaOne of my ambitions is to see them in the wild. Spectacular creatures, lions of the sea.
I wouldn't want to test his stats tbh

Saw a couple at a distance not far from Valdez in the early 2000s - wish I could have seen them in more detail but a cracking backdrop nonetheless (it was from a ferry, so the captain announced them but couldn't deviate course)Seen orca in Canada,but would love to see them hunting in peninsular Valdez
A lot of the shark attacks you hear about are mistaken identity, like a Great White that thinks you're a seal. Orcas are brighter and have better eyesight than a shark so you're only going to get any bother if you piss them off
Have you seen Blackfish? I just watched it again the other night as it happens.
Those pricks deserved what Orca dished out to them
The guy who administers the group does whale/dolphin watching tours out the tyne. I was supposed to be on one of his trips on 29th May but that will be cancelled and moved to 2021
The trip leaving from Royal Keys? Me and Mrs King of Um too. Something different for our wedding anniversary - was really looking forward to it.
Sea world's f***ing evil likeYeah. I think some of the trainers were well intentioned but misled. Sea World should have been shut down.
The scene with the mother screaming long distance calls for her child after it was taken away, and it being the first time anyone heard them do that, is f***ing heartbreaking.

And the various cetacean sites I follow have said the Echo's Orca "expert" is talking bollocks. They were definitely bottlenose dolphins off Seaham. The "white patch" on their faces were simply the sun's glare off the sea and if they were supposed to be Orca then they have seem to have deformed pectoral fins, as the fins on the Seaham photos and videos show they have pectoral fins of a shape common to bottlenose dolphins. People want it to be orcas, they crave that it was orcas, they are obsessed with the notion that it was orcas.

But it was bottlenose dolphins.
I once bucked a lass who loved most whales, but she would not hump back.
100% dolphins. I wish it had been orcas.
