Another day of Orca-watching for us here in Shetland with the six individuals seen yesterday off Burra and Trondra moving north to Tresta Voe in the west Mainland. Torrential rain all day made viewing 'interesting' but enjoy this brief snippet of footage during a five minute weather window this afternoon.

ORCAS!!! We spent a wet and windy afternoon watching a pod of six Orcas from the shore between Trondra and Burra, Shetland. The pod were very active with lots of spy-hops, belly rolls and tail lobs. Magical!
