John O'Groats Ferry had a fantastic evening crossing of the Pentland Firth on the 5th May with the sighting of 2 Minke Whales and 6 Killer Whales. The Killer Whale Pod consisted of 1 large Bull, 4 Females and 1 Juvenile. The ferry stopped and the pod hung around for 10 minutes.
It seems the Killer Whale season is here.
