Superb sounds!!

The orcas are at Cracroft Point and are very vocal. Looks like they are about to go through Blackney Pass.

Multiple pod calls audible.

The whales are in Johnstone Strait and are pretty vocal! The A5s are leading the group, with the A30s and I15s behind.

Distant calls audible.

The orcas just travelled through Weynton and are now vocal on Critical Point. They sound very excited

Distant calls audible.

The whales are vacillating between choosing Weynton Passage and Blackfish Sound. Right now, it seems to be Blackfish. Jeff of Stubbs Island thinks there may be more whales than before so we are listening and waiting to see what might develop.

No orcas present.

The large group (the A23/25s, I31s,I15s and A30s) have spent the majority of the day in Queen Charlotte Strait after they went north through Blackney Pass at dawn. At 10am they were at Black Bluff, spread out , foraging and slowly westing. Then, got to Malcolm point and turned back east just before noon, then they made it almost to Lizard Point and turned towards Foster, sounds like they are headed for the Pilkinghorn islands now... Thanks to Marie for keeping track of the radio reports today.

Too bad the early sports fishermen arrived on scene to try their luck just as the A23s/25s, I35s, I15s and A30s were also moving through Blackney and now, into Blackfish Sound. The whales are still vocal as they continue west.

Superb sounds!!

The A23/25s, I35s,I15s and A30s are all travelling north through Blackney Pass. They are incredibly vocal. We first heard them come back from east of the Reserve around 3am. Yesterday's incredible rub at the main beach is still imprinted on our minds (forever).!
