Walking on the Beach at Pea Island

On our morning and evening walks we exercise the gogs and pick up many interesting shells. The beaches are covered with shells. Many are broken and many millions have been ground down by tidal action making a very course sand. The entire process is really interesting to observe.




A lone shell sits in the detritus of many 100s of shells that have been ground down to a rough sand.







There are literally miles of sea shells stacked one upon another in a thin band on the refuge beach.





This ghost crab was caught out of his nest in broad daylight and caught the attention of Junior, who immediately had to go and check him out. I am pleased to announce that the encounter ended in a draw. Junior and the crab both went on their own way.
