I heard a rumour yesterday that a dolphin had washed up on Cleveleys beach – I was doubtful, but here are the pictures to prove it:

After trying to get the dolphin back into deeper water, without success, the coastguard wrapped the dolphin in a wet blanket and took it away to care for it.
I do wonder if anything like this has ever happened on Cleveleys or Blackpool beaches before. I find it quite unusual but maybe there are a few dolphins around.
If anyone has any further information or stories do let me know.
my stepmum and dad were there and my dad tried to save it be he had no success
this was a true comment

It might be a Porpoise.. they have washed up before
I think with this original post it turned out to be a Porpoise, but we all assumed it was a Dolphin
