#CSIoftheSea examination of the whale yesterday- 9.7m juvenile female sei whale and relatively unusual species for the UK. This is only the seventh sei whale to be recorded stranded in the UK since the inception of the UK strandings programme in 1990. @Perkins16Matt @RosieSWilliams1 @kathaseilern @thatmicrobegirl @ZSLScience @ZSLMarine @OfficialZSL #CSIoftheSea sei whale in moderate nutritional condition, no evidence of recent prey ingestion, with a largely empty gastrointestinal tract. No evidence of previous entanglement, shipstrike or other traumatic injury found. No macroplastics found in the stomachs or intestines.
