Kiss Me! Sea-Scorpion - Myoxocephalus scorpius |
We did a bit of rock pooling up here as the weather is fine here. while the rest of Scotland deals with the winter storm "Doris". Dave Wheeler our local meteorologist said we may be having the best weather in the UK at the moment. We found crabs and Brittle-stars... but we have the most pride in who can find little fish species. together we caught 4 species, Sea-scorpion, Shanny Blenny, Butterfish and Five-bearded Rockling. What fun!

Common Limpets |
Unusual Limpet, a smooth rainbow mother of pearl surface, like I have never seen before. Maybe a new species for me? |
The only two I have found? so one is no a fluke... |
More Limpets... |

Himanthalia elongata - Buttons |
