Three dead whales which washed up on the Lincolnshire coast have been removed in a five-hour operation.
The sperm whales - believed to weigh around 30 tonnes - were discovered on the beach at Skegness at the weekend. One more photo and details after the cut>>>
A team of 14 workers moved the creatures and covered them with sand on Tuesday ahead of their removal.
The whales will be transported to landfill sites in Didcot, Oxfordshire and Sheffield.
Contractor Jan Smith said: "It's gone very well really. The last one where the flaps had been cut open for the autopsy was hard work."You can't really plan what you are going to do because you don't know if they are likely to blow up or something. All that you can do is treat them with the utmost respect."
They are believed to be part of the same pod as others found in Hunstanton, Norfolk, and Wainfleet, Lincolnshire.
The dead animals are understood to have been part of a group of six spotted in The Wash on Friday.
They have been linked to a larger pod, some of which beached in the Netherlands and Germany.
