Very sad. The old internal GPS does let them down at times. I wonder if we’re somehow to blame?

There’s some evidence whales don’t like all the noise that we push into the oceans - but most of the ones that end up in estuaries and rivers are probably there because they are unwell/old/dying, not the other way around.

Hopefully, we will learn just what happened to this whale…

Seems possible the whale was already unwell before entering the river…
