A rather dead whale


A rather dead whale, originally uploaded by ccgd.

One of Bottle nose whales who died in the Cromarty Firth over the last week. Snapped when out sailing on Saturday

This one - an young male from what I could see - was on the ebb tide near Barbaraville.

Well pecked by gulls, and boy did it smell. I'm glad the tide was carrying it away from my side of the Firth.
