Shags harassed by thieving gulls!

Coming to the end of the neap tide, the overnight rain has stopped and it's hovering around the 14˚ mark this morning...


with fine-ish weather over the weekend the market was end-to-0end with fish from four of the hake netters and just about every inshore boat that was able to put to sea...


the Stelissa...



Silver Dawn...

and the Ygraine filled most of the first bay...


with the addition of inshore fish...


including this huge trip of ray from Tom's Guardian...


the were late season John Dory...


and good mix of quality fish like soles and monk...


there were plenty of spurdogs all looking for a market...


and a smattering of bonito tuna again...


the Ocean Pride filled most of bay 3 with her hake...


along with some cracking inshore red mullet...


in total, three stunning bluefin tuna...


were landed, the boats now eeking out the remainder of their individual 10,000kg quotas


cuckoo wrasse, one of the more colourful fish on the market...


Cod has been at the bass again...


the lumpers have made a start on clearing today's big landings...


as young Jeremy takes on bait to feed his pots...


it's not just people who have to keep their eyes peeled on their pasties when gulls are in the near vicinity, half a dozen shags feeding on small fish are hounded by lazy local gulls in search of an easy breakfast!
