To date unfortunately we have not seen any Orcas from our cliffs however on the 28/03/07, a pod of 7 Orcas were seen at Windwick Bay in South Ronaldsay. It was suggested they might have been hunting seals.

Also a pod of 5 Orcas were seen on 11/05/07 at Grimness Head. Both sightings of the Orcas were seen by Steve & Sarah Sankey & their guests down in South Ronaldsay. Log onto www.orcadianwildlife.co.uk to view some great photo’s!

1 Minke Whale travelling past Brough. 2 Risso’s Dolphin’s around Brough. 5 Risso’s Dolphin’s, 2 harbour Porpoise & a family group of 7 Orca’s travelling North from Marwick Head, beneath our cliff & around the Brough! We watched them for an hour on a hot, flat calm day & the sea was like glass… a wonderful & thrilling experience to have whales at the bottom of our garden!
