Rescuers say they are hopeful a humpback whale found stranded on the south of Scotland coastline will make a full recovery after it was refloated.

British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) was alerted to the situation at Southerness at about 15:30 on Tuesday.

It said the 9m (30ft) long whal was lucky that it did not have to wait long for the returning tide to wash over the area to refloat it.

Checks the following day found no sign of the whale and medics will monitor the coastline over the coming days to ensure it has not got stranded again.

Well the sea snail is going to have a heck of a story when it gets back to the flock.
