LISTEN: Killer whales snapped on Caithness coast

Woman captures fantastic photos of killer whales in the North Sea

Published 20th May 2016

A woman who lives near Thurso has photographed killer whales off the Caithness coast.

Karen Munro took time off work to try and find the orcas, because she's a wildlife photographer in her free time.

The 39-year-old headed to Duncansby Head where she came across the pod.

Karen told us: "This week and next week are two of the best weeks to see the whales in Caithness.

"The tourists and other people who were at Duncansby Head - they didn't need binoculars. They could just stand there and just enjoy the view with their own eyes quite clearly."
