- Orcas swimming in Strangford Lough
This bull Orca is well known in the western Hebrides as " John Coe "
who was first recorded in the 1980's.
His partner is either " Monny Penny " or " Aquarius ".
They were spotted along the Lecale coast Co.Down Ireland
passing Ardglass and then into Strangford Lough.
" John Coe " is identifiable by the large notch in the bottom of dorsal fin
and a bite in his tail fluke
Adult Orcas measure up to 9.8 meters (32ft) in legnth
,can swim 35mph and live as old as 90 years
Thank you "John Coe" and freind for visiting
we hope you enjoyed our coast and are very welcome anytime
**Great escape at 3:30**

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!
We saw them in Alaska and it was truly amazing! I hope you get to see them!
Nothing like it. It’s so amazing to see them in their natural environment !
I’m in my 70s and remember fishing that area,We both hunted the same fish,No problem….
Two brothers swimming in tandem!!! Thank you for this beautiful footage 🤗 it’s amazing how many boats they had to navigate.
Boats should give orcas more space. It should be an offence to bring your boat within 200m, Particularly powered boats.
Great drone footage. 👍
This has made me soo happy grew up in Co. Down!! I hope they stay
They had zero chance of hunting with the jerks in the boats following them about. Excellent drone footage all the same.
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.
They did get breakfast,so they did….
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.
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.
Agreed. There was no need to chase them down with those ribs. Back off.
wild n free, where they should be, thanks for posting the footage
Big bull looks like John coe with that notch out of its dorsal fin, his pod ofter seen around the west coast of scotland
Shame they didn't get peace to paddle about. Three boats following them and that's while we're in a 'lockdown.'
Wonderful to see,such a treasure
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?
I was only told about the orcas last night. This is a great video
the lough has many occasional visitors from humpbacks, dolphins, basking sharks there were mako sharks in last summer
Emma Grace liars
Quarantine is doing great things
@@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.
Funky how the cars running slow on the road,guess they watched too,amazing
amazing footage was amazing watching them in the lough thanks for the video
Why are those boats so close! WTH are those people thinking!
Two male together. I’ve not seen that before. Neat ! Thanks for sharing !
Magnificent footage!
Beautiful
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.
Amazing that you were there to capture this. Check out my own Strangford/Portaferry vid if you get a chance.
Looks like the boats are closer then 400 feet
great footage but how come 3 boats are out on the lough and i wasnt allowed to wet a line? #covidiots
Don't do as I do ,do as I say!
One was commercial
That is the liberal golden rule.”Do as I say. Not as I do”.
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.
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.
Those boats were far too close to the pod. I appreciated the drone footage, however.
Would people be not smart enough to let them be three boats around and a drone like what......Covid-19 was meant to be
THEY R FAMILY
Two males?
THIS MAH TOWN
I’m going to like that orca
Their was more than two i saw others blowing out air
My two friends
Awesome footage, would you mind if i used snippets of this for a wee film i am making?
What was coming the other way @ about the 3.30 mark, right of the shot
A seal saying fuck THIS
@@clint-1725 quality
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think the orcas will be back, boats were too much
They come every year
I Guess one of the boats looks like Silurian
What drone was this filmed with?
Dji Mavic 2
You are to close. Give them some space!

Those Orcas could kill everyone in the Lough
Orca have never killed or attacked a human to date only in captivity
@@sjrawling sorry I didn't mean it that way, was annoyed about those boats pestering them and made that comment! Killer whales are awesome
But wouldn't.
Have there never been orcas in Ireland before?.
flip inheck oh great I have to go across it to get to school🥴
*Northern Ireland
*Ireland....you immigrant planter.
@@bealfeirste2056 mr londonderry 1968 your geography is in the bin it’s northern ireland x
@@bealfeirste2056 Ireland use euros! Northern Ireland use GBP! Use your head for once!
ppl saying about coronavirus right ik THEY R FAM OK STOP THE HATE
Fucking descrece to the community
County down is in northern Ireland United Kingdom please get it right
County Down 🇮🇪 hope the Irish Sea Border wont affect 2 orcas Arlene and Sammy 😂
@Enjoy life ! didn't steal anything you obviously don't know your history very well .
This is actually in the United Kingdom, not Ireland
It's can be both. Don't be fickle.
Its ireland
And always will be
Yes it is in the UK
😂😂 in the UK on paper maybe ,it takes about 2 - 2 and a half hours to get from Dublin ( the capital of Ireland) to get to the lough, how long is it taking any of you boys from England ,Scotland or Wales 😂😂😂😂
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.
Now now, settle down, Jeffrey. Wouldn’t want the old blood pressure going up!
Shame they couldnt be left alone to do what they were doing instead of having clowns following them in boats ppl are selfish
give it a rest
