A pod of killer whales was spotted swimming in the waters of the Vancouver harbour Tuesday afternoon.

"We were just cycling round the seawall when my wife, Sally, spotted them in the distance," said David Mulholland, who caught the pod on video around 2 p.m.

"By the time we got to the bridge, there was quite a crowd and the orcas definitely played up for the audience," he added.
