Octopus washed up on Sutton yesterday. 🐙
It was being attacked by two gulls but was using its tentacles to defend itself.
Luke Maguire , who was there, made sure it got back into the water and said it was brilliant to see it swimming away.
He said ,'It was about the size of two hands put together, but bigger with the tentacles.
I got it back into the water by gently picking it up and bringing it in somewhere deeper where it could escape from the lowering tide.'
