Yet another whale has been washed up dead on a Welsh beach this year.
On the plus side we've also had sightings of killer and fin whales off the Pembrokeshire coast as well various pods and super pods of both common and risso's dolphins.
At the start of September a dead minke whale washed up at the Knap in Barry.
This time however it's a northern bottle nose whale at Talacre in Flintshire, a beach better known for it's population of rare natterjack toads than whales.
Another northern bottle nose whale was washed up in Bournemouth a few weeks ago...
