A family of killer whales has been seen hunting seals near the Farne Islands.

The pod of orcas were spotted on Sunday by passengers onboard a tourist boat travelling around the islands off the Northumberland coast.

William Shiel, who runs the boat company, said he saw the orcas flip a seal out of the water and believes they were teaching their calves how to hunt.
