Dozens of whales dead in huge mass stranding on Orkney beach

Emma Neave-Webb from British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) said the latest stranding was a “big, big incident”.

She told BBC Scotland News: “There are whales everywhere. There’s a long line of them, some of them are still alive.

“I know from experience how difficult these incidents are and I think we need to be realistic.”

BDMLR medics are being brought in from mainland Orkney and Inverness to help with the rescue attempt, but Ms Neave-Webb said it is unlikely many will be saved.

“We will do our utmost best obviously but they have been here for quite some time so I think we have to be slightly pragmatic about it,” she said.

Ms Naeve-Webb described the scene on Tresness Beach as “really quite horrible” and “hugely emotional”.
