Mussel farmers, Lyndon and Theo Mouat, got a bit of a surprise when they came across a pod of orcas in Wester Sound at Walls, Shetland.
The pair captured the amazing encounter on video and shared it online.
Its been shared thousands of times and garnered lots of praise and discussion about what these creatures are up to – and where they came from.
One woman suggested they were playing with a little sea bird while the Icelandic Orca Project commented: “Beautiful encounter, this is a group of orcas that travels frequently between Iceland and Scotland and that we have been studying for a few years now.”
