Northern Bottlenose Whale Strandings - Cromarty, Scotland

"Members of the WDCS team were called to investigate initial reports on Sunday 2nd August of an adult Northern Bottlenose whale thought to be trapped in Cromarty Harbour. On arrival, Charlie Phillips, WDCS Field Officer and British Divers Marine Life Rescue trained medic was informed that the whale, possibly an adult about 25 feet long, had headed back out to the open sea. However, local Coastguard were later told by members of the public that two more (smaller) animals had been sighted in very shallow water about a mile further along the coast.
