GALLERY
Each
month, at least one special marine image will be published from images
sent to the BMLSS. This
can be of the seashore, undersea world or any
aspect of the marine natural world, especially the underwater life, but
not restricted to life beneath the waves. Topical inclusions may be included
instead of the most meritorious, and images will be limited to the NE Atlantic
Ocean and adjoining seas, marine and seashore species and land and seascapes

A shallow
water fish found all around the British Isles but not often seen because
it was not caught by anglers or commercial fishermen and until recently
not often reported by divers. Records from the shore are still few and
far between with two records from the Scottish shores recorded. In the
southern part of its range is can be found in deeper water.
It's
common English name is from the Victorian naturalist William
Yarrell.

Scara
Brae
In
March 1858, a boy named David Linklater was digging at Muckle Brae, near
the Sandwick parish church, when he came across a few pieces of silver
lying in the earth. Astounded by the find, Linklater was soon joined by
a number of folk. Together they unearthed over one hundred items. This
hoard is the largest Viking treasure trove found so far in Scotland.
