Animal seen leaving Northumberland coastal town at 7am, where he rested after swimming from Scarborough

A roving walrus who delighted crowds in Scarborough on New Year's Eve has made his way back to sea from his latest resting point of Blyth on the Northumberland coast.

Thor, who showed up in Blyth on Monday, slipped back into the water shortly before 7am on Tuesday, according to the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDLMR), which monitored the animal overnight.
