One of my great joys is walking the dog on the beach just after now tide to see what's been washed up. Often – especially after a storm – this can include numerous Compass jellyfish. The thinking behind why so many get washed up ashore is that because they have no means of controlling their direction they can simply drift off course on strong winds, tides or currents. Sadly, the jellies will die very quickly after being grounded on the sand. This one washed up on the North Norfolk coast at Mundesley.
