Well done to the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) medics, the coastguard and the Navy for their efforts in helping the pilot whales back to the seas. A real loss where 25 died being stranded but at least 44 were led to the seas, thanks to these guys. Pilot whales are apparently a tight knit social group so perhaps understandable how such a large number became stranded. Interesting to see what the pathologists find when they carry out the post-mortem.
