Cornwall's British Divers Marine Life Rescue team rescued a stranded, healthy dolphin from shallow inlet mud, returning it successfully to the open sea.

A dolphin, stranded in a shallow inlet in Cornwall, was rescued by a team from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue. Initially, the team was observing the animal but had to bring it ashore when it stranded in the mud. The 6.6ft female dolphin was declared healthy by vets and with the help of a local resident, the team placed her on a surfboard and a mat on his boat before taking her out to the open sea. The dolphin was quickly released back into the ocean and appeared to swim strongly.
