    from the reports it hasn't been feeding when sighted but the bird signs normally works when looking for dolphins.

    Wonder how the chap managed to get itself into the mingin Irish Sea?

    What are you talking about? The Irish Sea is very clean, take it from someone who spends a lot of time in and on it. In the last couple of years I have seen pods of dolphins, porpoises, whales, sharks, seals and hundreds of sea birds, some rare ones.

    Take a dip and see!

    Oh right. I was always under the impression it was fairly polluted from Sellafield and all that.

    Why does it smell so bad sometimes?

    Not challenging: just interested to know from somebody who knows the score. Is it rotting seaweed or some other natural cayse?

    I guess nature stinks sometimes! You should get the smell when a whale blows out through it's blow hole! It's disgusting. I suppose decaying seaweed in very warm weather will smell bad.
