Lucky wildlife watchers in the Farne Islands were treated to an incredible encounter when an orca pod joined their boat and swam alongside.
The killer whales (Orcinus orca) had been spotted by fisherman off the Northumberland coast a few days beforehand.
“No words!!! Unbelievable sights here today at Billy Shiel’s boat trips,” says Billy Shiel’s Boat Trips on Instagram. “Those lucky, lucky passengers and crew.”
