sealord > This is what I call 'overhang' gully. The rock beneath the overhang of bedrock on the left remains moist during low tide. Breadcrumb sponge, Halichondria panicea, and other sponges grow here as well as bryozoan and hydroid colonies. During the spawning season dog whelks, Nucella lapillus, travel here to lay their egg capsules in the moist crevices. Shanny, Lipophrys pholis, and juvenile edible crab, Cancer pagurus, make their temporary home in a few of the lower crevices. Shore clingfish, Lepadogaster lepadogaster, live under the cobbles and boulders in the bottom of the gully. These fish with their abdominal sucker disc (created from modified pelvic fins) attach to the smooth surfaces of rocks and can maintain their position against the strong current that runs through this gully during high water. The cobble field which provides a home for a diverse array of species lies underwater beyond the raised bedrock in the distance. File No. 8-528 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
