No orcas present.

Good morning! The last calls we heard were just before 11pm. Whales were still in the Strait but it was not clear if they continued to the west or went back to the east. Besides the A12s & A36s seen yesterday we also heard A5s come out of the east in the evening. Hopefully today the picture will become clearer.

No calls but orcas nearby

The A12s are currently coming slowly west from the Sophias towards CP. Hopefully they will be close enough to us to film.

The A12s have now headed to the West very slowly foraging along the way. The are spread out from mid Strait to the Hanson Island shore.

The A12s are easting slowly and are passing Boat Bay near the Hanson Island shore. There is also news of a group near Donegal Head who are thought to be coming this way. The surface camera should be on shortly. Channel A.

Superb sounds!!

Its been reported that the A30s are up near Donegal Head, the A12s appear to be waiting opposite CP, perhaps the A30s will come in for a visit.

Superb sounds!!

The A12s finally made a decision and have headed into Blackney Pass, perhaps to meet the A30s.

Superb sounds!!

We are listening to the A30s and A4 calls on the CP hydraphone. Unfortunately they are right on the VI shore and so we are unable to see them clearly, perhaps they will come closer next time. They are heading East.

Orcas rubbing on the shore bottom.

The groups who passed us earlier are now rubbing in the reserve. Our camera is not running yet but will be shortly.

Hi, the A12s are also vocal and we can see some of them on the other side of the Strait. If they get closer we will try and film.

Superb sounds!!

All of the A12s except A33 and A12 have headed into Blackney Pass. A12 and A33 went West as far as Blinkhorn and have now turned around to perhaps follow the others.
