Got up early this morning to scrape the frost off the moth trap, and decided t recce the lower shore at Braefoot, Dalgety Bay, for tomorrow's low tide. The rocky coast isn't ideal rock pooling material really as there are precious few loose rocks to look underneath. It was a beautiful morning, though.
And after pottering about for a bit I noticed a small, bright object in one of the pools, which turned out to be te delightful sea slug, Fjordia lineata.
Another new one for me was the Chameleon shrimp, Praunus flexuosus
Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come tomorrow, but after that recce do I try a different shore? Decision, decisions ...
By way of a change I'll be heading to the Coral Beach near Dunvegan on Mon or Tuesday's super low tide, should be rather interesting. Cracking sea slug you have there, never seen that one before!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to coastal, the west really is the best. Looking forward to pics
DeleteYeah, I'm just looking forward to being able to blog about anything other than rain and cold.
Deleteon the bright side rain and cold don't stop you looking at aquatics!
