When filmmaker David Palfrey visited Cornwall, he was expecting a week of leisurely diving but instead he found himself face-to-face with octopus after octopus in the open water.

A report led by the Marine Biological Association (MBA) in Plymouth said more octopus had been seen off the south-west coast of the UK in 2025 than for at least 75 years.

The MBA said the population spike, known as a bloom, had coincided with unusually warm conditions, which it said were becoming more frequent due to climate change.
