The whale that was stranded in the River Thames has been moved on to a barge and is being taken back to open water.

Too bad, but he was probably very ill anyway. Whenever a whale or dolphin gets separated from its
pod it usually dies. It happens with dolphins frequently here on the east coast.

Thanks for that additional information that I had not realised, but I was thinking in the lines of stress, having being out the water, being hosed down is not the same as just swimming around.

To be honest that sounded a bit odd. They usually try to push, pull, roll, the animals back into the water when it happens, I have never heard of trying to transport it as far as they were trying, especially with a whale. It couldn't have helped.
