Walrus swims north to Northumberland after Yorkshire recuperation

Thor, seen in Hampshire and Scarborough - where fireworks were cancelled to spare him distress - has now been spotted in Blyth

A wandering walrus who delighted thousands in Scarborough on New Year's Eve has continued his English tour and turned up 100 miles further up the coast.

A large crowd quickly gathered in the Northumberland town of Blyth on Monday lunchtime after a walrus was spotted resting on a wooden pontoon at the yacht club.
