Don’t Forget Your Mouthpiece

This afternoon I saw a FAMILY of KILLER WHALES!(Or a POD of ORCA, to give them their botanically correct name).

No, I’m not joking. Nor did I end up in Orlando instead of Orkney. There they were, no more than 100 yards off the coast, surfacing every 30 seconds or so, and moving north at an imressive rate. There were at least 2 adults and 3 young, judging by the size of the fins and tails we were seeing.

I can tell you don’t believe me. Bollocks to the lot of you. They tend to hang around for a few days, so I’m going to get a photo of them if I have to camp out for 48 hours. Stay tuned…

Meanwhile, here are a few pics…

This is Dad in his studio.

This is Susan, with Buster, who is the star of today’s episode.

Buster likes cows…

… but not as much as he likes rabbits.

Or biscuits, for that matter.

BTW Did I mention I saw a pod of orca this afternoon?
