Killer Whale sighting 13-5-10
4 Killer Whales Seen from Duncansby Head at 6.20pm this evening.
2 Adult Bulls and 2 Adult Females.
The Bulls were heading towards the skerries but slowed and changed direction because of a fishing trawler passing in front of them. They were followed about 10 minutes later by the females. I lost sight of them going South. I did manage one very long range picture.
This was my second attempt at trying to catch sight of Killer Whales this year.

2 more Killer Whale sightings today in Pentland Firth.
There have been 10 sightings of Killer Whales and 1 of Risso's Dolphins reported in one way or other during the last 10 days.
I have only been able to record 5 Killer Whale sightings due to lack of formal reports.
You can e-mail sightings to me by clicking on my name on my web site home page or enter them on the form on my web site, or the Sea watch Foundation on line form.
