Dolphin ashore at Cleveleys

If a 120 metre ferry washing up on your coast wasn't quite enough, yesterday a smaller yet still highly unusual animal decided the coast at Cleveleys was the place to be stranded.
A small dolphin got itself beached on the sand and had to be rescued by coastguard and RSPCA. I didn't get to see the full outcome, but was assured the professionals were taking the dolphin, who was distressed and possibly poorly, to facilities to care for it.

I was on BBC Radio Lancashore this morning talking about this and they're also using images in tonight's Lancs Evening Post (11/4/08). Phone calls from the BBC means it might show up on their website.
