The wandering walrus was first sighted in the Netherlands on 6 November and has been travelling along the coast of France as far as Brittany over the last few weeks.
People are being urged to give a walrus a"very wide berth" after it hauled up on a Hampshire beach overnight.
The walrus, known as Thor, is currently being monitored by volunteers from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue charity after it arrived in the village of Calshot. Thor was first sighted in the Netherlands on 6 November and has been travelling along the coast of France as far as Brittany over the past few weeks.The charity said:"Key advice is being issued to everyone to give the walrus a very wide berth to avoid disturbing it.
"Walrus travel long distances and have rest stops to recover and regain energy before moving on again. Every time it is disturbed by people being too close or noisy will impact its chance of survival.Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerThor's arrival in Hampshire comes after two of the animals visited the UK in 2021 - Wally, who came to south Wales and the Isles of Scilly, and Freya, who visited Northumberland and Shetland.

Models of integrated care for older people with frailty: a horizon scanning reviewObjectives Frailty, a multifaceted geriatric condition, is an emerging global health problem. Integrated care models designed to meet the complex needs of the older people with frailty are required. Early identification of innovative models may inform policymakers and other stakeholders of service delivery alternatives they can introduce and locally adapt so as to tackle system fragmentation and lack of coordination. This study used horizon scanning methodologies to systematically search for, prioritise and assess new integrated care models for older people with frailty and investigated experts’ views on barriers and facilitators to the adoption of horizon scanning in health services research. Methods A four-step horizon scanning review was performed. Frailty-specific integrated care models and interventions were identified through a review of published literature supplemented with grey literature searches. Results were filtered and prioritised according to preset criteria. An expert panel focus group session assessed the prioritised models and interventions on innovativeness, impact and potential for implementation. The experts further evaluated horizon scanning for its perceived fruitfulness in aiding decision-making. Results Nine integrated care models and interventions at system level (n=5) and community level (n=4) were summarised and assessed by the expert panel (n=7). Test scores were highest for the Walcheren integrated care model (system-based model) and EuFrailSafe (community-based intervention). The participants stated that horizon scanning as a decision-making tool could aid in assessing knowledge gaps, criticising the status quo and developing new insights. Barriers to adoption of horizon scanning on individual, organisational and wider institutional level were also identified. Conclusion Study findings demonstrated that horizon scanning is a potentially valuable tool in the search for innovative service delivery models. Further studies should evaluate
