We love to comb the beach for treasures: fossils, shells, ray or shark eggs.
Three weeks ago the weather forecast predicted 100% rain
but it turned out to be ideal circumstances for beach combing.
Strong but not too strong wind and (almost) no rain.
Due to strong winds the previous days a lot of junk washed up on the shore.
Rope, nets, shoes, wood and an awful lot of plastic.
Suddenly something caught my eye....
At first sight it looked like a piece of rubber, care tyre or a piece of wood...
but it appeared to be an upper jaw and part of a skull of some kind.....
So exciting! Fossil find? Doggerland? A great find, we were chuffed!
A couple of days later an expert said it's recent and from a cow.
We still have our doubts so we'll go for a second opinion ☺︎
The next morning...
a beautiful sunrise... and the beach almost to myself...
In the afternoon lots of activity at 'La baie de la slack' near Ambleteuse.
