Beluga Charms British With Impromptu Visit
People lined the River Thames east of London on Wednesday trying to catch a glimpse of a beluga whale swimming far out of its normal range.
Dave Andrews couldn't believe what he was seeing. And then he couldn't believe what he was tweeting.
"Can't believe I'm writing this, no joke - BELUGA in the Thames off Coalhouse Fort," the Norfolk, England, resident posted on Twitter Tuesday.
The ecologist and ornithologist, as described on his twitter account, had spotted a beluga whale swimming in the River Thames east of London, far from its normal habitat.
A beluga swimming in the Thames is undoubtedly rare and a social media frenzy ensued.
