Sowerby's Beaked Whale
Incase people haven't already heard the weekend just gone two dead Sowerby's Beaked Whales washed up on the North Norfolk coast. 1 at Brancaster but the other I'm not sure of the location. Before they could be dealt with the tide took them out (not sure if they mean removed or scientific information gathered). Anyway, off the top of my head these two records represent the 4th and 5th for Norfolk following 1 washed up alive on blakeney point and then refloated and returned successfully in 2010. Last August 2 washed up within a day of each other: 1 at Thornham which was alive but soon put down and the other on scolt head.
Cheers,
Robert
