Wild weather saw an unexpected visitor at Newcastle’s Cowrie Hole this afternoon, as a yellow-bellied sea snake washed ashore.

A member of the public noticed the creature and called police.

Sea snakes aren’t commonly found this close to land, with the professional catcher saying it looked exhausted.
