A puffin believed to have washed from the Scilly Isles has been saved by a couple after washing up on Gyllyngvase Beach.
Mark Agnew, manager of the Gylly Beach Cafe, and his girlfriend Chalotte Lodey, were outside the restaurant at around 9.30pm on Tuesday night when they spotted the bird struggling in the surf.
Mark, who lives in the building, said: "I came down to check on the café and Charlotte came down to give me a hand and to look at the sea."
Charlotte continued: "I saw it out of the corner of my eye, it was dragging itself up the beach with its wings, it was so weak.
"It looked like a bird that was drowning, the tide was washing over it."
