An amateur photographer out for a walk with his partner captured images of what looked like a tornado in the Parkgate area of south Wirral.
It happened at around 6.30pm yesterday, when Aaron Green was walking at a Heswall beauty spot. He said: "I spotted a storm cloud which started spinning and turning into a tornado. It looked like it was forming over Parkgate.
"The cloud attracted my attention because it looked quite strange. It was a small funnel cloud which kept on changing shape. I've never seen one personally before, and it looked like it was raining around it.
