Notable Fauna: Pollock, wrasse, sea hare populations, 3 lobsters, plenty of sand eels, several (one very large) 'edible' crabs, notably not many velvet swimmers or spider crabs around. In fact, not a single large spider crab - worth looking out for numbers and sightings. On the shore line under the 'green weed' there are smaller crab and baby pipefish hiding (distinguished mainly by their tails that protrude out of the pebbles). There are also a number of baby (curious) cuttlefish about.
Other Observer Comments: Gery and Angel (w/ Nina) spotted a number of cuttlefish on their dives and have taken some very good photographs and video of them. More of our photos are here.
