Photos have emerged of a 20-metre beached whale on the shores of Arranmore Island.
The whale drew the attention of the Arranmore Lifeboat crew after they noticed that birds were clustering and diving at one specific area in the water. Nora Flanagan, Press Officer with Arranmore Lifeboats, told Highland Radio that the whale was found dead in the water on Saturday and has since washed ashore.
"Huge big whale and it's starting to decompose so there's quite a smell off it. We're hoping now that the carcass will be removed. Flanagan said that she assumed the whale would eventually be towed out to see and "buried" in the water, as opposed to on the island.
Below are photos of the whale taken by Rachael Early.
