Take the dog out for a walk and what do you expect to find in the field? A seal, of course.

Police and residents of one Merseyside town are completely surprised after one such water-loving mammal was discovered stranded in an inland field - seven miles from the nearest waterway.

The seal was found by a dog walker in Newton-le-Willows, near St Helens at around 9.45am on Monday.

Officers had warned members of the public not to approach the animal, which was in a field next to a main road.Pictures showed the animal looking quite sorry for itself as it lay on the muddy field.

In a statement, Merseyside Police said: "Police in St Helens were called at around 9.45 this morning by a dog walker, reporting that she'd seen what appeared to be a seal in the middle of a field in the St Helens area."

"Seals are powerful animals and dangerous. Police are advising the public to stay away from the area."

It is thought the animal may somehow have arrived in the field from the mouth of the River Mersey which starts at Runcorn.
