We have plans in place should it turn up but sadly I really dont expect it to be alive. Arrangements will hopefully be made for a PM of the carcass as it's of scientific interest because there isn't an awful lot known of this species.

I promise to keep folks posted

Thanks Craig,like you i'm not too optimistic as there is usually a reason why these Whales make their way inland,ie;usually that they are ill or injured.......fingers crossed tho!
