Orca manoeuvres

BBC Wildlife

January 2026

I WAS RECENTLY FOLLOWING THE 27S POD of orcas down the coast of Orkney with some fellow whale-watchers, when the pod pulled into a bay close to Burwick and stayed for around an hour.

- Sara Crane

There was blood in the water, so they had made a kill. Then they started behaving quite strangely by swimming backwards from a head-down position. Apparently, this is quite rare, and experts think it may be the family group dividing a kill. It is called 'orca moonwalking' and has previously been recorded in Canada but never in Orkney, as far as I'm aware. Roger Houghton, Orkney
