Sad so sad

Sad that he didn't make it though not unexpected - worth a try. So near and yet so far.

 

who?

 

A sad case, but a drop in the ocean compared with the death & suffering inflicted on his kind, by mankind. :(

 

The bottle nosed whale in the Thames Lisa - it died suddenly at 7.0pm

 

Now that really is sad :(

 

Not quite one drop, a number of drops in the ocean

But I agree with no world wide whale hunting ban, and fisherman still wreaking havoc on the species - tis small. But heartwarming to see the efforts put in by all concerned

 

Just heard it on ITV news. Very sad but not unexpected :(

 

Oh yeah thats really sad. Sorry Fran you didn't make it clear what the post was about and I haven't perfected my telepathy skills as yet lol :D Theres loads of Whales still being needlessly harpooned by the Japanese and other cruel countries, still we can't tell other countries to stop their cruelty when we still do cruel things here :(

It was sad they [we British] did their best. Japan get around it somehow. If the whale had ended up in Japan I wonder what they would have done with it...barbecue probably.

 

Barbeque and "scientific research", my aunt fanny!

 

Hope this will cheer everyone up.

Seals are regulars on the Firth of Forth and can ususally be spotted basking on the rocks or bobbing like footballs out in the sea. They breed here and in April and May you hear them mewing and calling - very spooky after dark or if it's foggy. The Sylkie (more correctly Selkie) of Nordic legend.

This one (I think it's a young female) was trawling a sheltered reef, lazily swimming about on the incoming tide no more than 50 feet away from me.




I called her 'Nessie!'
