A short video featuring all nine members (including the two calves) of the Northern Isles Community '27s' #Orca pod together off the east Mainland of Shetland last week. 🖤🤍🧡

It was a pleasure to attend the @mastscot #MASTSasm2024 in Glasgow last week! 🌊Thoroughly enjoyed presenting my PhD research on killer whale predation in the context of the harbour seal decline, catching up with many a familiar face & making new connections🐋

PhD submitted! 🥳 Thank you to everyone who helped this thesis come to fruition, to those that shared not only their knowledge but their excitement and enthusiasm🖤🤍Thank you all, it's been a wonderful ride! Now, on to the post-doc 🦭@_SMRU_ @SUPERDTP1 @saana_is @gordon_hastie

it's an incredibly sad day today for all of us here and across the marine mammal community worldwide as we say farewell to our beloved Simon Northridge who died suddenly on the 17th April. Simon leaves an amazing legacy of a career dedicated to the conservation of marine mammals

[SMRU (now posting at Bluesky) @_SMRU_]

We've been having many conversations about the carbon footprint of travelling to conferences here at SMRU so a group of us decided to cycle to the @eimr2024 conference in Orkney to raise awareness of climate change and raise money for a good cause https://t.co/4BDCyTxgBd

[Sam Ellis @Samellisq]

Very pleased to see our paper taking a comparative approach to understand the evolution of menopause in toothed whales published today in @Nature . Couple of slides below talking through the key results but all the details here: https://t.co/L6Ri8DUWNE

Always useful to see pics of our tracked seals! The tag was put on this grey seal pup on the Isle of May in Nov 2023. Tags are glued to fur so fall off when the seal moults. They provide info on survival+movements, to inform environmentally sustainable management of our seas

📆SAVE THE DATE! #UKIRSC24 will be held on the 9th-12th January 2024 at the University of Liverpool 🐳🐬🦭 More info to follow shortly, keep an eye out!

The second youngest member of the 65s Northern Isles Community Orca pod born in the winter of 21/22 to pod matriarch '65' aka 'Razor'. Incredible to watch as mother and calf hunted just metres off the rocks at Kirkabister, Shetland. An unforgettable experience.

[Hugh Harrop Wildlife @HughHarrop]

When Orcas do headstands...
Incredible to witness the 65s Orca pod 'reverse fluking' as they hunted in South Nesting Bay, Shetland. We often see 'fluking', but this was on another level! @whalesorg @Seasaver @mcsuk @kasmunro @SaversSea @marcrileydj @SteelySeabirder @kazcustard
