Ten sperm whales found washed up on the North Sea coast have died.
The pod was first spotted on a beach between Tunstall and Withernsea, near Hull, at about 08:30 GMT.
Members of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) said poor weather conditions and the size of the whales meant it was impossible to save them.
A spokesperson said the young whales were "in very poor nutritional condition" and had most likely suffered a "navigation error".
