Unusual whale found on Canvey beach

Available for over a year

The carcass of a whale that's rarely seen in the Thames Estuary has washed up on a beach at Canvey Island. Marine experts say it's more than 15 years since a Sowerby's Beaked Whale was last seen in Essex waters, making sightings close to our shores extremely unusual... Picture credit: Jamie Niblock/BBC.
