  Huge pod of pilot whales stranded, and die in island off Orkney archipelago

  

  Seventy-seven long-finned pilot whales washed ashore on Thursday on Sanday island, a part of the Orkney archipelago off Scotland. Sixty-five of them were already dead, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) service said, and while twelve still alive, they were in too poor a condition to recover.
