On Saturday morning, reports emerged from Michael Baun, the strandings officer on the island of Fanø, regarding the status of the stranded whales originally spotted on Friday. Initially, four sperm whales were reported to be beached in the waters between Fanø and the Skallingen peninsula off the coast of Esbjerg. However, it seems the high tide may have influenced their positions, potentially moving them to new locations.

By Saturday, there were further reports of additional whale sightings, with Baun acknowledging the uncertainty related to whether these new sightings are the same whales or if they represent different individuals. He mentioned receiving reports of a whale sighted in Sønderho and another near Skallingen, leading to a total of six stranded whales counted over the past day. While Baun remains cautious about confirming their identities, the situation highlights the complexities of monitoring such events in dynamic coastal environments.

The presence of these stranded whales raises concerns among marine biologists and local authorities alike, emphasizing the need for careful observation and possibly rescue efforts. As conditions may still be risky due to high tides, responders are focused on assessing the whales' conditions and determining if intervention is necessary, all while ensuring the safety of both the animals and the involved personnel.
