Orca off Criccieth
Attention North Wales RIBbers.....great sighting /picture from the Whales in Wales blog...
http://whaleswales.blogspot.com/2010...criccieth.html
Keep your eyes peeled....
Incidentally, the 'fish' it's firing out the water is thought to be a Porpoise or yearling seal...
I missed one which was off Cardigan Island last year...gutted
