Seaside!


Supposidly the best day of the trip, today we went to the beach rockpooling It was another hot day but VERY windy so we didn't get very far before almost being pushed by the wind into the sea! Martin Spate (invertebrate tutor and all-round sea-quirt lover) came along too and showed us the large diversity of sea slugs, star fish, sea suquirts, algae, crabs, crustacea and other organisms which could be found simply by overturning rocks. We later retreated to the beach cafe for hot chips, ice-cream and lunch. On returning to Orielton Jeremy and I went exploring in the woods and took a long walk to the pub. I got some great pictures on the way of the golden sun setting on fields of hay.
