'Heartbreak' as rare whale dies after becoming stranded on Norfolk beach
The female Sowerby’s beaked whale was discovered stranded on the mudflats of Snettisham beach on August 6.
British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) called the incident "heartbreaking" and said: "Initially reported as a dolphin, BDMLR tasked Medics to respond with rescue equipment.
"On arrival, however, they found a much larger and far rarer individual.
"Tragically, despite the swift response from Medics and Coastguard officers, the whale passed away shortly after they arrived.
