A pod of 77 pilot whales has washed ashore on a beach in Orkney in what could be the biggest mass strandings for decades.

Rescuers from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) have established 12 of the animals at Tresness Beach on the island of Sanday are still alive - but it is unlikely they can be saved.

The pod includes male whales up to seven meters (22ft) long as well as females, calves and juveniles.
