Poor thing, it is probably ill I hope they can help it.

LONDON, England -- Fears are growing among marine experts who are trying to coax a deep-sea whale back to sea after it swam up River Thames into the heart of London.

One rescuer, Tony Martin, said the mammal, believed to be a Northern Bottle-nosed whale, would require a specialist rescue operation.

"This is a unique experience. Northern Bottle-nosed Whales are normally only found in very deep water so the fact it's here probably means it's ill. This is going to take a number of boats and organization to coax it back into deeper water," Martin told Sky News on Friday.

"This is not going to be an easy job."
