Yesterdays finds

Some more photos from yesterdays finds.

We did not take our camera as the weather was a bit too wintery and we thought we would not be out long. So we took photos with my dads mobile phone.

Turned out we went for long walks on two beaches and found a few things, including a jelly fish I have not seen before.



Jelly Fish

Mussels.
There are not a lot of mussels. Especially not this size.
Some tiny ones in other places.
We found some under the main pier the other evening.
Big clusters of big barnacled ones. Must go take photos there.
Some of our find.


A really big crab that was washed up dead on the pebble beach.
There were about 40 washed up dead and smelling really bad.
All big ones, but this was the biggest.


This is a dead bird that was high up on the beach.
A casualty of the high storm winds ?
There was no visible damage and it was newly dead.

Visiting a few beaches after a Force 11 Gale

The day after, the weather is always calm and clear. The gale had blown itself out and we went out looking to find what the sea had brought to shore for us.

A lot of large dead crabs on the one beach and a 3 dead birds (one was a gannet). A number of jelly fish and some odds and ends. Have a look for yourself :)
