Two buckets filled with Portuguese man-of-war found on the flat roof of a pub in Cornwall were left there by a student living locally who wanted to bring them back to her campus, a bar manager says.

The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) got a call from the Games Room in Falmouth on Thursday telling them about the buckets.

It instructed the pub's staff to pour the creatures back into the water and "let nature take its course".

Games Room manager Kathy St Quentin said the student had been collecting the siphonophores and was waiting for authorisation to get the creatures on to their college campus

She said that the student left them on the easily accessible flat roof close to her flat, where they were discovered.

Kathy added that the student was "a bit embarrassed" about what had happened.

"I spoke to a couple of managers in the league, and when I told them I had 27 players they couldn't believe it."

A Devon zoo which had to put down a herd of antelope because of bovine TB says it is trying to keep badgers away from its animals.

Paignton Zoo culled the lechwe antelope after one of its animals tested positive for TB. Staff were "saddened" by the cull, which saw 10 animals killed, it said.

Senior head keeper of mammals Rob Rouse said the cull was also partly carried out because there were "other species here that are vulnerable", including elephants, giraffes, kangaroos, goats and sheep.

He added that the zoo was also looking at "how we can eliminate badgers from their enclosures".

Badgers are believed to spread TB in cattle.

Culls of badgers are taking place in Devon and Cornwall to prevent its spread in livestock. Opponents said culling was inhumane and vaccinating badgers would be more effective in preventing the spread.

Housing providers in Cornwall say they need urgent clarity on future funding as the government launches a review of social homes.

There are calls for the housing benefit bill to be brought down and reinvested in truly affordable places to buy and rent.

Cornwall Council said it was hoping to build 1,000 new homes itself by 2021, with about a third of them being affordable.

Andrew Mitchell, the cabinet member for housing, said: "Since 2010, we’re now into seven years where the government hasn't put a penny into social rents, so it's an issue that affects the whole of the country, but, I think, even more so in parts of Cornwall.

"We have such a mismatch between local wages and local house prices."

Staff at the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) say they were "very surprised" to get a call telling them that two buckets filled with Portuguese man-of-war were found on the flat roof of a pub in Cornwall.

Hundreds of the potentially fatal jellyfish-like organisms have been found washed up on Cornish beaches over the past week.

The MCS said on Facebook , externalit received the "odd news" from the Games Room in Falmouth on Thursday, commenting that "hydrozoans really don't belong in the pub".

Peter Richardson, head of recovery at the society, said the MCS got the call after the landlord had already called Cornwall Council and the police.

The pub's staff were instructed to pour them back into the water and "let nature take its course", he said.

He added that, because of expected strong winds over the weekend, there was a possibility that more of the creatures might be washed up.
