sealord > This is a view of the south side of the peninsula of raised rock looking east towards the Quaine pole in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast.  This image shows the shore at low water during the afternoon spring tide of the 17 April 2007.  The Laminaria ochroleuca kelps have been exposed.  Thongweed, Himanthalia elongata, and red algae drape over bedrock and boulders.  Patches of green Enteromorpha seaweed cover the ground.  At the top of the image, in the middle, there is an outcrop of rock with an opening to a small cave in the centre which is where European sting winkles, Ocenebra erinacea, produced egg capsules during the spring tides of 17 and 18 April 2007.  The yellow jacket of an ormer gatherer can be seen in the upper left-hand corner of the image.
