Thousands of black balls have washed up on a British beach just days after a broken pipe leaked 80,000 litres of oil into the Irish Sea.
The small balls of tar were discovered on the coastline of seaside town Blackpool, Lancashire, sparking a major clean up operation.
Their discovery comes after roughly 500 barrels of crude oil escaped from a pipe off the coast of North Wales, which supplies fuel to the Isle of Man.
