F.F. O’ Rca
Pod of killer whales Orcinus orca seen of the west coast of Ireland last week. One of this group (“Floppy Fin”) is believed to be fifty years old. Orca sightings around the Irish coast have been noticeably more frequent this year.
The Fine Print
Some things to consider. I will not necessarily be responding to (or even reading) comments. I generally do not block comments unless they are off-topic, merely a soap-box for the individual, or clearly spam. I reserve the right to ban persistent offenders. Occasionally a comment will be held up for moderation because it triggers a filter; in particular comments with four or more links will be delayed. Do not resubmit the comment - it will be posted when I get an opportunity. Lastly, commenting get automatically shut down three weeks after the post first appears. Have fun!

I’m no marine biologist, but I thought it was Orcus orcinae” ?
Or has it changed in the 30 years since I learned it ?
DLC,
Actually Orcinus orca. I still screwed up!
Still quite the sight to see.
