Welcome to Gilbert the whale
Sep 18th, 2009 | By admin | Category: NewsOpen water swimming is increasing in popularity. Perhaps even more so with our local beach making national news. Conservationists say “signs are positive” for the survival of a 30ft (9m) whale swimming off Dorset.
The northern bottlenose, named Gilbert after the RNLI lifeguard who spotted him, has been seen around Bournemouth Pier and in Poole Bay. A full health assessment has yet to be carried out but vital signs, including his breathing, appeared good.
