Three dead sperm whales wash up on Skegness beach

Scientists believe whales are from same pod as one that died on a Norfolk beach and are worried about surviving members

Three dead sperm whales have washed up on a beach near Skegness. Crowds flocked to see the creatures, believed to be from the same pod as one that died on Hunstanton beach in Norfolk, despite efforts to help it back into deeper water after it became stranded.

Scientists are now concerned about any surviving members of the pod, thought to have comprised at least six whales.
