Onlookers were treated to the spotting of a walrus on the Northumberland coast- 100 miles up away from his last sighting.
A large crowd quickly gathered at South Harbour in Blyth on Monday lunchtime (January 2) after a walrus was spotted resting on a wooden pontoon at the yacht club.
The assumption is that it is Thor, the juvenile male who parked himself on a slipway in Scarborough harbour on the evening of December 30 – just yards from the town’s cafes and slot machines – and slipped back into the water just under 24 hours later.
