We are heading back along the boardwalk. There is great crowd of little crabs marching back and forth across the sand. Perhaps a common sight for those that live by the sea but for me magical and thrilling.
Now I was really regretting not having a decent camera. I looked up the collective noun for crabs ... it's a cast ... wierd huh.
We call these soldier crabs on the Nth Coast. I never get tired of watching them.
ReplyDeleteWhat industrious and organized little creatures.... Yes! We always refer to them as soldier crabs ... They are facinating to watch.
ReplyDeleteA cast of crabs, I must remember that for our next trivia night. Hey wait a minute I don't go to trivia nights.It must have been annoying not having your camera. You'll just have to go back and do it all again. BTW where are we in these photos?
ReplyDeleteMark and Dianne they are fascinating but why do they march back and forth like that?
ReplyDeleteDiane, we are at Bermagui on the South Coast of NSW
Did they make the little round balls of sand?
ReplyDeleteYep Letty .. thousands of little balls.
