Three dead whales wash up on UK beach

British maritime authorities say three dead sperm whales have washed up on a beach in Lincolnshire.

Three dead sperm whales have washed up on a beach in Lincolnshire just a day after another was beached in Norfolk.

Two of the 15-metre-long whales were found on the beach near Skegness about 8.30pm on Saturday and the third was discovered on Sunday morning.

The whales, which are thought to have died at sea, are believed to be from the same pod as the animal that died on Hunstanton beach on Friday, HM Coastguard said.
