They are believed to have been dumped on the beach after rough seas in recent days ripped them from the seabed. Trevor Bradford was walking his Yorkshire Terrier on the beach at Mablethorpe, on a cold Thursday morning when he stumbled upon the stranded pink invertebrates.

The 69-year-old said: “I’ve never seen that many. There was a carpet of them as far as the eye could see.

“It went on for a good 200 yards and the thickest parts of it were about 10 yards across.”

“Over the last few days, the tides have been really rough. I don’t often see it that stormy around here. “The weather hasn’t been that windy, but there have been some rough tides that have made it a bit treacherous for people walking on the beach.”
