Dead whale spotted off Looe identified as a humpback whale There s been a number of sightings of them around the coast over the last few months
Updated
A dead whale spotted floating near Looe has been identified as a humpback whale.
The body of the animal was mistaken for an overturned yacht, which prompted a search and rescue mission yesterday afternoon.
Dan Jarvis of British Divers Marine Life Rescue identified the species of whale.
He said: Sadly it s a humpback whale. We have had a number of sightings of them around the coast over the last few months, and I know of one that has been present consistently at the Isles of Scilly since new year. Sightings appear to be increasing in recent years.
A FRIENDLY face has popped up on a west Dorset beach - but the message is for people to observe from a distance and not get too close. A young grey seal, believed to be Sammy who has been a regular visitor to Weymouth Beach over the past year, appeared on Hive Beach, Burton Bradstock, taking an opportunity to lay in the sun and have a rest. Bridport resident Jenny Stewart-Ackroyd saw the seal on Sunday. She said: He was very relaxed and just moved away when the sea would get too close. He seemed happy to sunbathe in the morning sun.
SEAL conservation groups have urged Dorset residents to do the right thing and give the young seal pup who reappeared this weekend some space. The Jurassic Coast s resident seal popped up at Hive Beach in Burton Bradstock on Sunday, March 7. The Seal Project, Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust and British Divers Marine Life Rescue have issued a joint statement, asking people to keep their distance from the animal. The groups said: This juvenile male grey seal has been frequenting areas of Dorset and South Devon and has become a focus for a lot of public attention. He needs to rest on land to digest any food he has been able to catch, but he still has to learn what to eat and how to catch it.
