Portugese Man O'War jellyfish seen today Devon

[Notch7]

Im staying in Beer, Devon for a long weekend. This morning went for a walk along the beach and I saw quite a few Portugese Man O' war jellyfish along the foreshore.

I didnt have a clue what they were, but a local stopped me to warn us (I had our small dog with us).

At a glance they looked like slightly inflated condoms with some bright blue gunk attached

I found them fascinating, nature is amazing

NB....strictly speaking not a jellyfish but a colony of zooids!

We have the same problem here in the suburbs with those condom's scattered about.
