Humpback whale stranded in Scotland refloated with aid from British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
A humpback whale stranded at Southerness, Scotland, was successfully refloated after being stuck for a short time. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) assessed the whale's condition as moderate and provided first aid until the returning tide enabled its release. The organization noted that live strandings of humpback whales are rare in the UK and will monitor the area in the coming days to ensure the whale's recovery and prevent further stranding.
