Orcas in the Clyde (1 Viewer)

I wish I had been there! I think the west coast pod is quite transient, you need to be in the right place at the right time, whereas in Shetland there seem to have been sightings just about every day last summer.

Here's another video from yesterday's Clyde sightings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=Kvow2htkY6M

I don't kow if this is the ",west coast" pod. I understand there is a calf with the pod that has been in the Clyde while I have also heard the "west coast" pod were past reproductive age.

I stand to be corrected though.

Like Mr Justice Pag's judgement on the Universe being one place, but that place being very large, translating daily sightings in Shetland into personal sightings on an occasion is not necessarily straightforward - Shetland is a big place and subdivided quite inconveniently for rapid travel!
