Next year will hopefully herald many exciting visits to some beautiful areas of Britain, in search for unseen life.
Next summer we plan to visit the southwest of the UK for a few days, spending the day rockpooling, and the night mothing. All this was very uncertain until recently. I secured a job working at the uni canteen, so I shall be earning some much needed cash from next year :) Thankfully I'll be able to finance such a trip now.
We don't plan to stick purely to rockpooling in the sea. One thought is to buy some waders and a shrimping net. This allows exploration of the submerged sublittoral, and can yield some good finds. As the name of the net suggests, shrimp (pictured) are common finds, but flatfish, and harbour crabs are not rare. If we ever got lucky, we could even catch a cuttlefish!
Exciting times are ahead, and that is even before we search for sea slugs in 11 days time!
