Amazing footage of killer whales near Peterhead
Watch this amazing footage of a killer whale pod near Peterhead
The crew of Peterhead Lifeboat received a treat recently when what's thought to be a pod of Killer whales surfaced alongside their boat.
Killer whales are not common sight in the area but have been seen before.
RCA Web say "Killer whales have a global distribution and are one of the most widespread cetaceans. They are often found in shallow waters where they have been known to partially beach themselves to catch seals, but are also found in large numbers in deep offshore waters. They exist in different populations which rarely interbreed; it is possible that several species exist. In the UK they can be seen most regularly around the Shetland and Orkney Islands."
Saving lives since 1865, Peterhead Lifeboat Station safeguards mariners along the North East coast of Scotland from Collieston south of Peterhead northwards to Rattray Head.
