Seal pups and jellyfish-like creatures are among the wildlife washed up on Dorset’s beaches during storms this week.

Thousands of by-the-wind-sailors - organisms carried by ocean currents and the wind - were reported in Poole Bay and Kimmeridge.

Seal pups have also been washed ashore in recent days, with part of Weymouth beach temporarily cordoned off on Wednesday to ensure one of them could return to the sea, undisturbed.
