A marine life rescue charity said it has never before seen so many stranded dolphins and porpoises on beaches across Merseyside.

British Divers Marine Life Rescue "has never been busier" according to its staff, who provide medical care for beached animals until they can be safely released.

It is unclear whether the rise is linked to climate change affecting sea temperatures or simply due to people being more aware of how to report cases, the charity said.
