Some wee pics from first leg of ground fish survey.  This first one is a lesser weever fish, had me terrified of sticking my hands into the large piles of fish for sorting!  If you manage to get pierced by one of its barbs on gills or in front of dorsal fin you run the risk of anything from a very painful swollen arm to death!

This wee guy is a grey gurnard, not a red gurnard as the colour may hint at!  They are a curious wee fish that feels armoured all over apart from ventrally.  Not poisonous but they have barbs that can hurt if you lift them the wrong way.

Last but not least, the ever so cute sea mouse!

Just letting you all know that we aren't being absent on purpose but are sadly without internet at home  We hope to have it back on by Friday or Sunday.  CZ was worried it would affect his chances of being allowed to get onto main map.  I hope its ok.  I'm using my stepdad's computer tonight as I am at my mums house.  We are heading to Amsterdam in the morning....woohooo!

Just thought I'd share the lovely view from the back of one of the boats I was on.  Sadly the crppy camera on my phone doesn't do it justice

Just want to apologise to whoever built this lovely cow, sadly it she had to go

Just came across this wee article about MC on the BBC News website.  Interesting wee read, although there isn't much mention of the adults who play the game!
