Amazing video: fifty sharks spotted off West Sussex coast

Up to 50 sharks swam into the shallow waters at RSPB Medmerry, near Selsey in West Sussex on a rising tide. It's thought they have come in to feed.

Measuring up to 1.5 metres (5 foot) in length, and with the typical triangular shark fins sticking out of the water, they were identified as smooth-hounds, a type of shark usually found offshore in coastal waters.

The interview is with Peter Hughes of the RSPB.
