Today, at Carlyon Bay there was a stranding of a 65ft Fin whale. This normally Atlantic resident beached at about 2:30pm and these pictures were taken at 8pm. It is such a shame to see a large animal in distress  and, being well stuck on the tide line and battered by the waves, the prognosis is not good.

    Very Sad! Especially to see it in distress

    I found a beached Northern Bottlenose Whale in N Wales a few years ago. It was already dead although it seemed to have only just died before I got there.
    I posted a thread about it on my blog last year, see the archive section on the right hand side tool bars and look for August 2011
