Rockpooling destination: Hemsby, March 2016


During the months of February and March the eggcases of a variety of rays, skates and catshark are washed up onto the Norfolk shores. Common eggcases that can be found include the Thornback and Spotted ray and the curly ended eggcases of the catshark. Sometimes you can find the larger Blonde ray eggcases.


A walk along the shore turned up some nice mermaid purses and lots of the bryozoan, Flustra foliacea.
