A type of jellyfish with a very powerful sting has invaded a Wirral beach.
Over the last week a number of people have reported seeing "huge" jellyfish washing up on New Brighton beach. A number of images sent to The ECHO have confirmed dozens of Lion’s Mane jellyfish measuring up to a meter long have appeared on the beach.
It's very rare to see the lion's mane jellyfish in the UK and they're most often spotted off the coast of Cornwall or in the English Channel, according to British Sea Fishing. In the past the sea creature has been observed on the Shetland Islands, north east coast of England and off the coastline of Wales.
