Two dead whales at Felixstowe and Orford

The discovery of a dead whale on the beach at Felixstowe is attracting visitors.

A second whale, thought to be a minke, has also been found further up the coast, on a mudbank in the River Ore estuary near Orford.

Experts say injuries to the Felixstowe whale indicate it may have been struck by a ship.

A surgical examination of both mammals is expected to be carried out before a decision is made about their disposal.
