Dolphin ashore at Cleveleys 6

    Further help gets to the beach and they attempt to get the dolphin on to the beach as onlookers watch.

      I'm not sure - I called the coastguard when I first saw what was going on and they were already monitoring it and they said dolphins do seem to come to shore to die. It looked young and healthy though but it didnt want to go back in and as the coastguard tried to get it further out, it didnt seem to have the strength to get going and was being washed into the beach.
      It was wrapped in a blanket and taken away so hopefully it's in an RSPCA bathtub somewhere getting treatment.

      Can't believe I missed all this - I was in Cleveleys at lunchtime, and it's the first time all week I've not walked up to the promenade!

      Just been on Radio Lancashire and some of the snaps are in the LEP tonight. Fame at last......
