“We were standing on the lock enjoying the view when we were surprised to see several Moon Jellyfish in the water.”

Jane said she knew what they were because she has several Moon Jellyfish in a tank at home.

She added: “They were quite a decent size – around 15cm in diameter – and looked pretty healthy.

“They were obviously feeding well as the 4 ‘moon’ stomach’s were defined and full.”

Moon Jellyfish can live for up to 25 years in the wild, according to The Wildlife Trusts.
