Three Of The Sea

Last December my mobile phone died on me so I had to buy a new one. I chose a fairly simple one as a replacement but it does a camera that I now use to take a few snaps when I’m out and about. Here are three photos relating to the (Irish) sea taken with said phone.

I took this one back in January and I’d be grateful if someone could tell me what these are:

shellfish

Here’s a photo of an incoming tide taken a few weeks ago – doesn’t look the most attractive does it?

sea foam

And for the last photo – jellyfish! There were several jellyfish washed up on Sandhey slipway on a recent Sunday afternoon; I don’t know if that’s anything to do with the strong winds that we had the day before? Does anybody know anything more about them?

    Shells: I am no expert but I think these are from the Family Veneridae but as there are many hundreds of species, I have no idea which one this is! They are lovely though! Very much a feature of Hoylake sands but I forget what their ‘common name’ is. I thought I had an identification guide but can’t find it!.

    Scum: Contrary to popular conception, scum is a natural phenomenon and not necessarily a sign of pollution. Particularly common on wide muddy estuary beaches in calm conditions. Not pretty but natural!

    Jellyfish: Yes, stormy conditions moves the jellies around so wind is probably the cause.
