The people of South Gloucestershire have been treated to the unusual sight of sea creatures in their streets.
Recently Bristol Live has reported on wonderful wildlife spotted in and around Bristol, including otters living in a South Bristol stream, seals swimming from Scotland to a pub down here in the West Country and goats being reintroduced to maintain the grassland in Wick.
But stranger things have happened in South Gloucestershire over the past few months, with locals spotting a number of sea creatures miles from the sea.

Jacquetta Webb spotted a live crab walking through the local park in Pucklechurch on November 12, 2021.
Dubbing it "the famous crab at the park", she said: "This was the highlight of the year and the children's of Pucklechurch - they were all so fascinated when they came out of school!!
"It was under the swing and we're still not sure how it got there. Someone said maybe from a fish delivery guy and had fallen off the back of the van.
"I, however, have never seen a fish delivery van in Pucklechurch, so we are still clueless to this day."
A few weeks later, in Cadbury Heath on December 17, a local resident in Cadbury Heath found a pufferfish in the middle of their road.
The pufferfish, which was inflated, actually turned out to be stuffed.
Sharing it to a local Facebook group, they wrote: "Anyone missing a taxidermied pufferfish? Found some strange things in my road but this tops it!"
