| I saw this on the Hull Daily Mail website from Saturday June 12th 2010 http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Reports-whale-stranded-Humber/article-2296888-detail/article.htmlRescue teams are searching for a whale spotted in the River Humber, close to the busy ferry terminal.
Humber Rescue, based at Hessle foreshore, along with a team from the Marine Mammal Rescue Service are searching for the 5m creature.On Sunday June 13th a follow up report read, http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Search-continuing-whale-spotted-River-Humber/article-2296990-detail/article.htmlExperts are still searching for a whale spotted in the River Humber.
Teams from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue service searched the estuary yesterday after reports that the 5m-long mammal was swimming upstream.
It was spotted entering the Humber near Paull at around 9am.
Humber Rescue launched a boat in a bid to find the animal.
However, it was not found.
Anyone who sees the whale is asked to call (01825) 765546It's not the first time a whale has made its way up the Humber Estuary, with a Sperm Whale making it's way up, before dying in February 2006. Also in that year a Humpback whale was reported to have beached and died at Spurn Point. | |
