Orcas swimming in Strangford Lough

[@erin3292]

Two brothers swimming in tandem!!! Thank you for this beautiful footage 🤗 it’s amazing how many boats they had to navigate.

[@myopenmind527]

Boats should give orcas more space. It should be an offence to bring your boat within 200m, Particularly powered boats. Great drone footage. 👍

[@mike8501]

This has made me soo happy grew up in Co. Down!! I hope they stay

[@paulsmith1981]

They had zero chance of hunting with the jerks in the boats following them about. Excellent drone footage all the same.

[@mesijania]

Its highly unlikely they were hunting. You can see a seal in one shot and they swam right past it. Of course you are going to follow them, if you came across this once in a lifetime opportunity...don't worry...they can disappear and never be seen again if they want.

[@kieransavage100]

They did get breakfast,so they did….

[@221BSam]

They are absolutely beautiful! how can anyone think they should be in captivity? they belong in the wild. What a joyous sight, seeing orcas in the wild is on my bucket list for sure!

[@dreamcatchersong]

Pity those boats were so close, whatever about the drone. Lovely that they popped in for a visit, hope the come around again, looking so healthy and relaxed.

[@mesijania]

Sadly...they are NOT healthy and probably NOT relaxed. The rest of their family are presumed dead, because of us, and our selfish ways. PCB's.

[@dissol1306]

Agreed. There was no need to chase them down with those ribs. Back off.

[@MsBongkong]

Shame they didn't get peace to paddle about. Three boats following them and that's while we're in a 'lockdown.'

Big bull looks like John coe with that notch out of its dorsal fin, his pod ofter seen around the west coast of scotland

wild n free, where they should be, thanks for posting the footage

[@JackieDannenberg]

Two male together. I’ve not seen that before. Neat ! Thanks for sharing !

[@samanthagraham1940]

amazing footage was amazing watching them in the lough thanks for the video

[@peiriarin9985]

Amazing footage! I love these smart, beautiful, inquisitive creatures. They're such intimidating in the wild yet so friendly towards human. Btw what is the name of the background music?

[@emma-wy2oz]

I was only told about the orcas last night. This is a great video

[@whitetroutchannel]

the lough has many occasional visitors from humpbacks, dolphins, basking sharks there were mako sharks in last summer

Wonderful to see,such a treasure

Why are those boats so close! WTH are those people thinking!

great footage but how come 3 boats are out on the lough and i wasnt allowed to wet a line? #covidiots

[@jessH090]

@@padraicfitzsimons5430 I think it does. Like dolphins appearing in Venice canals for the first time with all the tourists disappearing. Sheep taking over Llandudno etc.

[@carlabunn1134]

This video seems so sad. Only two Orcas ? This is not the usual number for this highly intelligent animal to be in. I hope they will fare well. Hunting is much tougher for a pack animal without sufficient numbers to aid in hunting strategy. I am glad they are free and hopefully not harassed by people.

[@Bodrikutya2]

They didn't prolong it's death just to be mean. It was a training session for the juvenile. If it was an actual hunt, it would have been over in 5 seconds.

[@irenabartova4549]

Funky how the cars running slow on the road,guess they watched too,amazing

[@markthompsonulster]

Magnificent footage!

[@hazellawrence8433]

Beautiful

[@susanfaber2595]

Looks like the boats are closer then 400 feet

[@AGDinCA]

Those boats were far too close to the pod. I appreciated the drone footage, however.

[@gowhales3002]

Two males?

Would people be not smart enough to let them be three boats around and a drone like what......Covid-19 was meant to be

[@murielleebody3629]

THEY R FAMILY

[@gracethatigiri361]

I’m going to like that orca

[@don-ent8272]

Pity the orcas, it must have felt like paparazzi were following them too close. 3 boats.. come on.. disrupting to the orcas communications. People should go for marine life and orcas education before getting too close.

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

Their was more than two i saw others blowing out air

[@mesijania]

Awesome footage, would you mind if i used snippets of this for a wee film i am making?

I don't think the orcas will be back, boats were too much

Orca have never killed or attacked a human to date only in captivity

ppl saying about coronavirus right ik THEY R FAM OK STOP THE HATE

[@prof.sirjeffreydarling-mil3463]

The point o them boats was they was escorting them fish out of our water cause they ain’t welcome so they are not. Stupid freakin’ fish running amok in our sea. Good riddance to them says I. In fact, who cares about stupid fish full stop. I hate birds too so I do. And we gotta to do something about them bees and insects. Maybe yous byes in the boats could chase em off too so you could.

Nothing like it. It’s so amazing to see them in their natural environment !

[@kieransavage100]

I’m in my 70s and remember fishing that area,We both hunted the same fish,No problem….
