  Could anyone tell me where the rock pooling took place please, as I live in South Devon and did not recognise the beach, thanks.

  We're going camping on the south Dorset coast in the summer and I want to take my daughter snorkeling for the first time. Can anyone tell me where a good safe place for our adventure might be, where we can see lots of wildlife?

  Further to the article on rockpool rambles we thought the viewers might like to know about our virtual rockpool ramble website. We are the first to admit that it is not as good as the real thing but can be fun when the weather is wet or the tide is in. The site can be accessed by going to the following link http://www.nationaltrustjersey.org.je/coast/rockpool/index.htm

  Rock pools are all very well but what if you go on holiday to Littlehampton - all sand no pools, Worthing or Lancing, pebble beach, again no pools.

  We spent the weekend at Amroth, Pembrokeshire this weekend. We found lots of interesting life in the rock pools, but when we walked further up the beach we discovered thousands of dead star fish scattered on the beach and on the rocks. Does anyone know what the cause of this is?

  I came back two weeks ago from porthcawl,in wales.I went for a walk around 10pm one eve,just out of my holiday park to the beach,it was just 5 mins away from where i was staying,I could'nt believe it,i seen a fox run right past me on the sandy path! took me by surprise,was great to see.On another day in the camp,i was walking from the shop,and i seen this small bird brown,black,white very fluffy,i could'nt tell you what breed it was,maybe a finch?? but he was sat upon the shop sign,then i heard baby birds,they was coming from behind the sign! it was very windy weather that week,they sure found good cover!the bird that was sat on top of the sign was a look out i think,as i walked along abit and looked up for a better view,he was hopping towards the end(where the other bird was going in and out feeding the chicks)and churping,it was amazing to see,he would not let any other birds come close,i am sure it was the male as he was very pretty the female was the brown one.

  Millies_pad SNORKELING IN DORSET
  
  Advise you head for the Isle of Purbeck for good snorkeling - place to try Kimmeridge has easy access but Chapmans Pool is worth the steep walk. Good campsite near Church Knowle or Durdle Door
  
  Happy camping and snorkeling

  if you go to Wells on the Norfolk coast, there are seals regularly swimming with bathers in the channel next to the beach, not 10 meters away.

  Pictures from seaweed is a nice idea.
  
  Just a quick word about our coastlines..
  If you've spent time at a beach and find that it's dirty or littered, you can send in your photos or videos to the Save The Beach campaign http://www.coronasavethebeach.org who have pledged to clean up and protect some of Europes worst beaches - please help if you can to clean up our coasts

  Pictures from seaweeds are great! Very popular in Victorian times and incredibly easy and satisfying to do. All you need to do is go down to the strandline / the smelly pile of rotting seaweed and choose some good thin seaweeds - Sea Batters, Dulse, Sea Lettuce and Sea Oak are great. (Not seaweeds that are attached to rocks / living.) In a shallow cat litter style tray put a sheet of thick paper / thin card with 2 cm of water and using a paintbrush spread the leaves out. You can then gently lift the spreaded seaweed out. Place a J-cloth / nappy liner on top of the paper. Then sandwich betwen newspaper and weight under 2 heavy-ish books. Change the paper until dry - 3 - 5 days. Then, peel the J cloth back and admire your beuatiful nature crafted image! People often think, "Seaweed presses? Why would you do that?" But once you've done a few of the bright red / pink seaweeds you'll see why! ;-)
