As the bodies of 26 common dolphins were recovered from the Cornish coastline last week, marine mammal experts and conservationists struggled to understand the incident.
More than 70 dolphins in danger of beaching themselves were ushered back out to sea by would-be rescuers last Monday but more than a third of them eventually died, making it the biggest stranding in British waters for 25 years.
