These stinging visitors have returned to Cornwall

Beachgoers are being urged to be careful after reports of Portuguese man o' war washing up on shores around Cornwall.

The Portuguese man o' war is a siphonophore, not a jellyfish and they have an extremely nasty and painful sting, even once they have died.

Julie Skentelbery has been talking to Delia Webb from the Friends of Portheras Cove about the situation.
