After a break of several weeks due to other commitments I managed to get up to clean the underwater camera. A bright sunny day, but a very cool southerly wind. Water temperature was 18.0C. Visibility was moderate to good. At last the algae has stopped growing and and cleaning has become less of a chore. Over the next month or so most of the algae will die off and with reduced plankton in the water the visibility should improve. A few wrasse about, both ballen and corkwing, but only one grey mullet seen. The common gobies are about in moderate quantities, but very few Palaemon elegans prawns about yet.

Walking back along the beach, the thyme is now well out in flower while the samphire and sea purslane is just starting to flower. The solitary yellow-horned poppy has now pretty much finished flowering.
