A man was left perplexed after stumbling upon a unidentified creature washed up on a Merseyside beach.
The decomposing specimen was discovered by the Lifeboat Road car park in Formby. It was found by Dominic Murphy while he was taking a walk along the beach with his cousin yesterday evening.
The creature had partially decomposed and is believed to be around two foot long. Dominic, who is from Crosby, has not been able to identify the species of sea bird and on initial inspection believed it was a penguin.
