Wildlife campaigners have welcomed a voluntary ban by Cornwall Council on plastic flying rings to protect the county's seals.

Council member Rosie Moore proposed the voluntary ban on the sale, purchase and use of such rings, which was passed unanimously by the council on Tuesday.

The ban follows similar moves by other councils across England and Wales, as well as retailers such as Tesco and Sainsbury's volunteering to stop selling the toys, which can cause fatal injuries to seals.
