Final trip of the season with Transient Orcas & a Humpback Whale! Oct 22, 2012









































Today was our final trip of the 2012 season and it was a great way to end one of our most successful seasons! We were out looking for Humpback Whales that had been reported earlier when we actually found a group of between 6-8 Transient Orcas a few mile SW of race Rocks!!! The Transient Orcas included a large male but at this time we have still not i.d. this group as we believe they may be California Transient Orcas.

Near Race Rocks we also encountered a Humpback Whale!

I found another interesting on a large scale whale colony around Sri Lanka.
Pretty interesting to know that whales colonise around an island the way they do in Sri Lanka.
