Killer Whales Come Back

A massive black fin had been spotted roughly 2 miles to the North of Sula
Beag and after turning towards it our suspicions were confirmed - Orca!!

Just 30 minutes earlier we had been watching a young minke whale foraging,
unaware of what loomed on the horizon, we had turned towards Coll for lunch
but ended up spending nearly two hours with 4 adult Orca.

Orca are rarely seen in our area, but they pass through regularly, it is pure
luck when we cross paths. This experience was one of my best yet. 

The small pod consisted of 2 females and 2 males. 

The males have been provisionally identified as Floppy Fin (a
certified Porpoise killer) and Kinky. The females are known as Lulu and
Nicola. As we entered "The Cairns of Coll" for lunch the local seal colony
looked incredibly vulnerable. Killer Whales are the Top predator in all the
oceans and it is a massive privilage to see them in our own small Hebridean
sea.
