Shifting sands and pebbles.

This winter has seen the beach change along Newlyn Green from week-to-week as Mount's Bay was subjected to successive weeks of huge ground seas sweeping in from the west, at the moment, much of the old stone causeway has been covered by pebbles......


whereas closer to Newlyn the large granite quoins, each weighing around 1.5 tons, are currently highly visible...


Newlyn Green has seen many things over the years but Saturday saw, but didn't hear, its first Silent Disco...


Vision V landing her trip of frozen langoustine...


it's a fine start to the week on Monday morning...


with largely blue skies and almost no wind...


one hungry black-back gull off in search of breakfast...


head-on monk, a sure sign there's a Scotsman landing a trip of fish...


which in this instance included a big shot of congers...


meanwhile, the local inshore boats took advantage of relataively fine weather over the weekend to land quality inshore fish like these John Dory...



bass...



more Dory...


and even more octopi...


some 88kg from just one St Ives boat, a good day's work for young Mr McClary and the Dignity...

the fridge was end-to-end eight-leggers to, out of 20 tons of fish on the market, 18 of them were octopus...


and this is how most are bring caught.
