A dog walker has issued an urgent warning after "apocalyptic" scenes at a Merseyside beach.
Gemma Clarke was walking along Ainsdale beach this week when she came across a "horrifying" find. She said there were hundreds of birds, jellyfish and crabs washed up along the coast, all within metres of each other.
After walking around two miles, she said the whole coastline was "littered in dead animals". Urging people to be aware, Gemma said she believes it was a similar situation in Formby.
