Here's the beast!
🚨Folks in #SouthamptonWater / #Solent 🚨
This spiny swimming #crab shouldn’t be here. An Indo-Pacific species, newly recorded in the Atlantic, turned up here.
Probably ballast water. Hopefully not a trend… 🦀🦑🧪 @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social

Cruise ships Queen Anne & Britannia passing Fawley Jetty heading into Southampton docks early this morning, followed by sunrise

Was surprised to spot a #wheatear a couple of days ago. I'm used to seeing them on the West Coast of Ireland so I guess I was lucky to spot a "passage" bird. It was sitting on a post near the location in the pic, #AshlettCreek #SouthamptonWater

Dawn at Calshot Spit, Hampshire this morning 0°C. First clear start to the day for a long time. #Calshot #NewForest #Fawley #SouthamptonWater #Solent

Glorious #sunrise over #southamptonwater & #thesolent
Might be cold, but this certainly makes up for it!
