Photo of the Day: Exhausted starfish

By Michael J.W. Stickings

From The Globe and Mail:

High tide waves wash over some of the thousands of starfish that have been washed up on the beach at Budleigh Salterton in Devon, England. Over the last few days hundreds of thousands of starfish have been washed up on the beach, which marine experts believe is due to them become susceptible to high tides and storms after becoming exhausted spawning.

Quite amazing, really. But I suppose we'd all feel that way after such prolific spawning.
