Whale in the Thames River

"It's a whale of a tale - a bottle-nosed whale swimming up the River Thames past Big Ben and Parliament on Friday as rows of worried Londoners looked on.

It was the first sighting of a Northern bottle-nosed whale in the river since British whale-watching records began in 1913."
