Bodies of sperm whales wash up on Humber beaches

The carcasses of three sperm whales have been found in East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire.

Two currently remain on mud on the banks of the Humber estuary near Spurn Point.

It is not clear when the whales entered the estuary or if they will be removed.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) said it was saddened by the deaths and had offered to support British Divers Marine Life Rescue.

A third whale has washed up dead on Humberston Fitties beach in Cleethorpes.
