Criccieth Bay is well-known for its picturesque beach and abundance of sea life. Killer whales not so much.
So photographer David Silcock was left stunned after capturing what he believed was an orca on the North Wales beach. Posting the picture on Criccieth Life, he captioned it: "Is this an Orca in the Bay off Criccieth Beach?"
Speaking to North Wales Live, he said: "I saw it from the viewing point where the cars etc stop off the main road on the hill behind Dylan's (restaurant) looking towards the castle. I saw it in the bay, towards Black Rock from Dylan's.
