“There was about 10 of them in total and they were definitely hunting seals from how they were behaving.
“They don’t normally come in that close to the shore for anything else, and although we didn’t see any seals, from the way they were moving it was how they behave when they are hunting.
“One of them is known as number 19 and she is easily identified by her notched dorsal and scarred saddle patch.
