A huge 50ft long sperm whale was found beached on rocks at a popular tourist beach yesterday afternoon. Rescue workers desperately tried to coax the bull whale back to deeper water but it died at around 11pm. The animal became distressed and injured its tail thrashing around in the shallow waters. Dozens of people headed to the area after news of the mammal's plight spread. It is thought that two whales got stuck initially - but one freed itself.

He believes they could have been part of a large pod, some of which beached in the Netherlands and Germany.
