Wildlife Reports
 

Dogfish (Photograph by Andy Horton)
15 April 2001
I received a report via the RSPCA of three young sharks washed up on the beach at either Lancing or Worthing. A size was not mentioned. I assume these are Lesser-spotted Dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula, which are so commonly washed ashore dead in all months of the year that they scarcely warrant a special mention. The specimen above was discovered intact near the Old Fort a couple of months ago, before it had been spotted by the gulls that scavenge along the strandline.

This is a Peacock Butterfly that Ray Hamblett photographed in a Lancing churchyard at the beginning of April 2001.
