sealord > This pretty moth, which has a width of about one inch, entered the moth trap set in my garden in St. Peter Port, Guernsey on the night of 18 June and again on the 21 June 2009. I didn't manage to photograph it on the 18 June as it flew away. This photograph was taken on the morning of 22 June. This moth doesn't stay still and quickly flies off towards the rising sun (east). I had to use a flash to get a quick image of it before it flew away. This moth was identified by Guernsey moth expert Richmond Austin as Phlyctaenia coronata.

sealord > This fan mussel, Atrina fragilis, was caught accidentally in 54 fathoms of water off the south-east coast of Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain on 30 January 2007. It has a shell length of 23.0 cm and a maximum shell width of 12.83 cm. The live animal was measured with the valves closed. The thickness of the two shells or valves is 5.04 cm. The whole animal drained of water weighs 293 grams. Keelworms and two colonies of dead-man's fingers, Alcyonium digitatum, grow on one of the valves. It was returned to the sea alive.

sealord > The small snails, Rissostomia membranacea, somehow remain attached to the leaves of eel grass, Zostera marina, even while the eel grass leaves are being pulled from one side to another by the surf and currents of the seashore. This gastropod was found on eel grass at the southern end of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast and photographed on 5 November 2006 File No. 051106 18-869 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > A dahlia anemone, Urticina felina, with a diameter of 5 to 6 cm growing on the side of the rectangular metal float of a pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey. This photograph was taken with a Canon S80 digital camera with an underwater housing. Fanworms grow down from the base of the pontoon float. The dahlia anemone is uncommon in Guernsey rock pools on the seashore but the pontoon attached to the fish quay has large numbers of them. Unfortunately, the pontoon is cleaned every four or five years so they will be removed but presumably they will recolonise the cleaned pontoon in time.

sealord > The velvet swimming crab, Necora puber, is called a lady crab in Guernsey. These red-eyed crabs are fast moving and aggressive except during copulation when couples can be touched without any reaction. Necora puber lives under boulders and cobbles and will quickly move away when a stone is turned over. This individual was under a cobble in the cobble field to the east of what I call 'overhang gully' at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on the 29 April 2006.
