Delight over reported sighting of orca calf off Isles of Scilly

The possible sighting of a calf among a pair of female orcas off the Isles of Scilly has sparked excitement among marine wildlife experts.

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust said boatman Joe Pender had seen the pod near Bishop Rock, in the westernmost part of the islands, on Wednesday.

A Vega pod of Iberian orcas was identified off the islands for the first time in July and they were thought then to be the last in a "very tiny family".
