Invasion of very large plankton in Swansea!

Very large jellyfish have been washed up on Swansea Gower beaches.

These jellyfish which are apparently classed as plankton and are the favourite food of turtles can grow to a metre in length.

They get washed up on our beaches if the tide is particularly strong or there is a change in wind direction.

Most are harmless although it is wise to give them a wide berth as some will cause a painful sting if touched.
