A Northumberland dog walker came across a bit more than she'd bargained for on her daily walk on the beach.
Steph Taylor-Bradshaw was walking her two dogs with her daughter Hannah on Annstead Beach, between Seahouses and Beadnell, when Hannah told her to put the dogs straight back on their lead. And the reason?
She had spotted an octopus on the beach, "crawling" a couple of metres out of the water. According to Steph, the stranded cephalopod was trying to get back to the water, but the waves kept picking it up and depositing it further up the beach.
