'Beluga whale' spotted in the Thames

A whale, believed to be a beluga, has been seen in the River Thames, marine life rescuers have said.

It was first spotted by ecologist and ornithologist Dave Andrews, who said it had been feeding around barges near Gravesend in Kent.

The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society said it was "obviously very lost and quite possibly in trouble".

Gravesend, Kent, England is so close to the ocean that it has 5 meter tide swings at this time.  This isn't true fresh water.
