10th May - Despite rough sea conditions 1 adult Rissos dolphin (very big & pale) & a pod of 4 Orcas including 1 bull seen at Noup Head Westray
11th May - 4 Orcas seen on Stronsay, possibly the same pod as day before?
12th May - an amazing pod of 15+ Orcas slowly cruised past the North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory just offshore and along the west coast! Go to www.nrbo.co.uk for some amazing photos.
25th May - 5 Orcas heading north from Egilsay
What an amazing month for Orcas? Unfortunately we haven’t seen anything as yet, fingers crossed. Thanks to all those keen cetacean watchers ie Steve Sankey from Orcadian Wildlife, NRBO & many others.
