Another common dolphin recently washed up in the area. A walker said she was “in tears” when she discovered the animal on Rottingdean beach in September last year.

Movement coach Neda Nenadic, who spotted it on the pebbles, said it had an injured face.

“It was a really young one as well,” she said. “I had a little prayer for it.”
