I have been looking forward to this all week!
On Friday night we will embark on our first night rockpooling session of the autumn/winter months.
The tide is at its lowest at 23:02 when it dips down to 0.95m, which incidentally 2cm lower than the night we found the huge Edible Sea Urchin - so we have high hopes.
The following Saturday morning harbours a low tide of 1.08m at 11:26 and then if we fancy it, another night low tide of 0.95m is there for us to take advantage of at 23:49 Saturday night.
Personally, I will be looking amongst the kelp holdfasts in search of some smaller orgnaisms such as sea spiders, and an uncommon slender spider crab :)
There is always potential for a lobster at these tide levels, and of course anything unexpected is a bonus!
I will post a new entry after each session this weekend.
