NORTH NORFOLK: Fish & fossils

Late July 2021

A pleasant morning spent on a beach in north Norfolk looking for fossils with Adam. Having hardly been to the coast this year, a Sandwich Tern offshore was the first I'd seen in 2021. Fish darted about in sandy pools left by the tidy - mostly Common Goby I think. We found several fossils - mainly Adam to be fair, who has certainly got his eye in, and also some iron pyrites, which were the first I'd seen in the natural environment having owned a small pot of them bought from a museum or visitor attraction as a kid.
