Whale watching in London - go now!

Today finds a whale who has wandered up the river Thames. The BBC article has a link to live (yes, live) video coverage. The camera work seems a bit random without commentary, but yes, the dark blob in the middle of the water now and again really is a Northern Bottle-Nosed whale. I saw it cruise fairly fast up the river at one point. They're hoping it will find its own way out with the retreating tide.

8:40 am update: Not so much live anymore, but there's still a news video. They're leaving a live link in the sidebar which just takes you to a BBC hold screen (live with a clock). This leads me to think they might get back to it if the BBC helicopter doesn't have anything going later on. Of course it'll be dark there before too long as well I suppose.
