22 February - Large whale washed up in North Cornwall
On the 22nd February the dead body of a large whale, believed to be a fin whale, was found three kilometres off the coast of North Cornwall off Pendeen. Five days later the Cornwall Wildlife Trust Marine Strandings Network received another report of the animal which had drifted to shore near Porthtowan. Samples of the whale were collected however the cause of death is not yet known.
Fin whales are the second largest animal on the planet and have been known to pass by Cornwall in winter months. They also regularly visit other parts of the UK such as Pembrokeshire and Northwest Scotland as well as being spotted regularly from Southwest Ireland.
