Sadly the whale has died

A whale which became beached in shallow water on a shoreline near Inverness has died, coastguards have confirmed.
The 40ft adult male sperm whale was first spotted swimming in the Inner Moray Firth earlier in the week.
It spent much of Monday moving in circles before becoming stranded in six feet of water at Alturlie, near Fort George, on Tuesday

WHALE in Avoch Bay

Fears for large whale lost in bay

Boats monitoring the sperm whale in Avoch Bay
A large adult sperm whale which entered a bay in the Highlands could be suffering health problems, according to an expert.
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) has been monitoring the mammal. It has been swimming in circles around Avoch Bay, at the Black Isle.
Local officer Charlie Phillips told the BBC Scotland News website the whale swam under the boat he was on.
He said: "We got a good idea then what size it is - it must be about 45ft."
Conservationists hope it will be able to leave the bay and return to the Inner Moray Firth and, eventually, deeper waters.
A second whale was thought to have made out it to the firth.
Mr Phillips said: "The sperm whale does not look well and is going round in circles.
"It is a big adult male. We don't see many of them, it is usually females that we see in the Moray Firth."
British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) have also been notified.
BDMLR said said there was little they could do if it strands on the beach.
