Reasonably well-behaved critters of Bridlington Bay No Take Zone, including velvet swimming crabs 🦀, dabs and plaice 🐟, and a lesser spotted dogfish 🦈 all making appearances for day 5 of #Crustmas and #25DaysOfFishmas. 🎄🎉🦑

Residents of an inshore Bridlington Bay shipwreck attend the BRUV for day 4 of #25DaysOfFishmas. A shoal of pouting investigate the bait cage, while tucked away in a triangular hole top left is a rarely filmed visitor in these waters - a shy conger eel awakes and surveys the melee outside! 🐟🧐🎅🦑

Brown crabs not exactly getting in to the sharing spirit of #Crustmas with their friends on day three. Somebody could be heading towards the naughty list! 🦀🐟🎄🦑

Less than subtle menu enquiry from a venerable Bridlington Bay lobster, a ponder and ultimate rejection in favour of alternative fare from possibly a less 'metallic' dispensary. 🦞 #crustmas

AI is now capable of designing a record-breaking deep sea submersible on its own. This marks a new age of exploration and I encourage all my fellow AI champions to build one and get in it so they can celebrate this achievement from the bottom of the sea.

Wondering whether this small UK spider I observed subduing a wasp can be identified? No obvious web could be seen on the rose, but it seemed quite adept at avoiding the sharp end!

BREAKING NEWS: Garage blue tit cam reveals hatchlings this week! 🐣🐣🐣 😁
Just thought I'd catch up with the Blue Tit box this morning, as there's been quite a bit of nest building activity recently. I was surprised to see what might be a couple of eggs below feathers in the centre, and if so it would be about a week and a half earlier than last year. 🐣🐣

Lovely to return the boat in some spring sunshine, ready for the new season. Hardly any breeze too, so sent a drone up for a few shots before heading home.
There's Yorkshire stripes from above the surf, the dark ones containing Jet on this tide.

A three-faced four-eyed gargoyle perched on a 12th century church buttress, it was something the local clergy hadn't noticed from the ground!

At minus six celsius it was a tad nippy for mapping some woodland, so I sent the little one up for some overheads and grabbed an opportune silhouette on the way. 🥶

Finally out to record some habitat restoration projects as the fog has lifted, but couldn't resist pressing the shutter button on my way up. 🌞

Conger eels are something of a rarity off East Yorkshire, with only a handful of official recordings between the Wash and Middlesbrough (about 200km of coastline). Luck would have it then, when one photo-bombed a BRUV recording over an inshore wreck earlier this year. 🦑🌍 #ukunderwater

I live surrounded by tidal freshwater, if water conditions are favourable I'm occasionally tempted to drop a camera and attempt to record anything lurking. This day a fearsome looking pike scattered small fry to inspect my equipment.
That ominous face shows little mercy! 👀 😬

🦈 Unfortunately this 4m long #threshershark washed in recently at Clovelly Beach, North Devon 🏴
It had been entangled in a ghost net and beached alive, despite it being returned to the water it later washed ashore dead.
