Britain is seeing a boom in octopuses after they have been spotted along Cornwall 's coastline this month.
Huge numbers of the slithery creature have been seen, in what experts are describing as a 'bumper year' for the species.
Divers and snorkellers in the Cornish waters have reported an increase in sightings of Common Octopus - also known as Octopus vulgaris - along the Lizard peninsula, southern Cornwall.
