Another great day has passed and no one has lost their great spirits. So many volunteer observers join the John O’Groats ferries every morning and every afternoon. In sunny, windy, rainy and foggy days there are always observers at Duncansby looking out for fins, for blows, for any signs of whales or dolphins.

Orcas got also sighted off Fraserburgh (Grampian) and off Tolsta Hd (Isle of Lewis).
