The whale, which is starting to decompose, was reported to the Marine Strandings Network, who have chosen not to visit the site due to the coronavirus restrictions though they have been in contact with the landowners, the National Trust.
The whale, which is starting to decompose, was reported to the Marine Strandings Network, who have chosen not to visit the site due to the coronavirus restrictions though they have been in contact with the landowners, the National Trust.
The grim discovery was made on a remote beach on the Roseland Peninsula by local man Simon Tilley, who was taking his daily exercise.
He said "I thought, is that really a whale? It's been injured - hit possibly by a boat's propeller. I'm not sure how it's come here, but we've had some really rough weather recently."
The whale is thought to have washed up on the beach on either Monday night or early Tuesday morning during stormy high winds.
