Whale is still there!
It was found in shallow water 200 yards up the beach on Thursday.
It was hoped it could be removed on Friday but Rother District Council was still looking for a contractor to cut the carcass into manageable pieces.

Hide AdDover Coastguard said gale force nine winds meant removal might not be feasible until the weather improved.
Tides moved the animal 200 yards further up the beach overnight and it has now been fenced off to keep members of the public away.
A spokesman for the council said the whale would be moved as quickly as possible and taken to a landfill site.
