Three juvenile loggerhead turtles have washed up on beaches in southern England over the course of a week.

Recent storms and rough seas probably pushed them off course, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue charity said.

Turtles found at Kimmeridge, Dorset, and Milendreath, Cornwall, on Tuesday were rescued by wildlife experts but have since died, the organisation said.

Another turtle is likely to have died after being returned to the sea at Lydd, Kent, the charity added.
