Sperm Whale

I heard that a whale was observed drifting to shore some kilometres from where I live, so I the first thing I did when the kids had gone to bed was to drive to the suggested spot.

This is my first close encounter with a large animal like this where I actually got my camera with me and time to compose and take pictures with a lovely sun behind me like this :)

 

The whale was male (EASY to tell... ;) and he probably died a natural death, old or just weak.

 

I advice people curious of whales to read these pages:
