Yes, I heard about that on the radio yesterday. It's heartbreaking when this happens. How/why it happens is a mystery, and so sad.

Sadly this happens in Devon every year, fortunatly most of the whales manage to drag themselves off the beach and back into the chip shop.

:eek!msl Col8. Think they must be killer whales. Don't let pvb1968 see them, he had enough trouble coming to terms with Gemma Atkins and Lisa Riley in the promotion hopes thread.

On a serious note, always find such events tragic.

Indeed, and the same goes for the pilot whales in Australia.
