Whale in River Thames Causes a Wave

The whale was spotted in the afternoon as it flailed around in the murky waters of the Thames, stirring up patches of what looked like blood as seagulls hovered above and rescue boats stood at the ready. It was the first sighting of a Northern bottle-nosed whale in the river since British whale-watching records began in 1913.
Last week, marine officials said they saw two bottle-nosed whales in northeastern Scotland when the mammals are normally seen in northwestern Scotland. That, coupled with the sighting Friday of a second whale in a different part of the Thames, could suggest that something is disrupting the whales, said Laila Sadler, scientific officer at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
In a perhaps unrelated story a group of Rotarians from Washington State were seen sunbathing and swimming of the Northeastern cost of Scotland. A local reported that even from Scottish standards, these were some pale and sickly looking folks. With the constant singing of "Louie Louie", many locals felt the need to vacate the area.

"Next they will scare off the fish." said one local pub patron of the Rotarions.
