The pod of 10 finally beached between Tunstall and Withernsea in East Yorkshire.
The main reason for so many whale sightings appears to be huge stocks of various species of squid being lured from their normal north Atlantic homes into the North Sea by increasingly warm sea temperatures caused by climate change.
Although squid is the favoured food for sperm and many other whales the shallower and restricted waters of the North Sea off our east coast pose other threats and difficulties to large whales.
The 10 sperm whale pod that died on the East Yorkshire coast is thought to be the biggest mass stranding of the cetacean in England since scientific records began in 1913.
