August 2021
We had to wait for a sensible low tide time, but eventually managed to get to West Runton to take our daughter rockpooling for the first time. It was a big success, with an enjoyable mroning spent peering in the pools created by the ebbing tide. We were able to show her Beadlet Anemones, Periwinkles and Hermit Crabs, before heading back to the cafe to get lunch, which we ate in the car as heavy rain swept in. Along the cafe wall there were lots of weevils (we also saw some out near the rock pools) and several Staphylinids. The one pictured might be Philonthus cruentatus, but then again there could be other similar ones I'm not aware of.
