Taken one evening while walking along the beach at Dinas Dinll in North Wales, love the way the light has caught the fishing line.
Smooth Hound caught on the Lincolnshire coast just south of Sutton on sea. (Smooth Hound is a relative of the Shark family)
The Vismarkt (Fish Market) in the Magdalena Quarter, southern Bruges, Flanders, Belgium.
At first, fish was sold on one of the Markt’s corners, but as the townspeople complained about the stench, the fishmongers were forced to move and sell their wares here. In the covered arcade (1821), specially erected for the purpose of selling fish, fresh seafish was sold, a delicacy that only the rich could afford. Today you can still buy your fresh saltwater fish here every morning from Wednesday to Saturday.

I could see something projecting out the water a good 20 or 30 feet from the shore, zoomed in and found it was a sea fisher, in his waders, rod in hand. Must be bloody freezing!!!
The red lionfish (Pterois volitans) is a venomous coral reef fish in the family Scorpaenidae. It inhabits the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. The red lionfish also inhabits the east coast of the United States. It was introduced to Bascayne Bay, Florida in 1992 when hurricane Andrew destroyed a home aquarium housing 6 red lionfish.
The Caribbean is also suffering from an invasion, especially around the Bahamas.
Red lionfish are clad in white stripes alternated with red, maroon, or brown. Adults can grow as large as 42 cm in length. It has fleshy tentacles which protrude from both above the eyes and below the mouth. The pectoral fin is present in a distinctive fan-like shape, and dorsal spines are long and separated. Every spine of the lionfish is venomous, and while no fatalities due to lionfish stings have been reported, their venom extremely painful.
The Red Lionfish eat live prey and do not eat fish flakes and other processed food.

De gewone koraalduivel(Petrois volitans) behoort tot de familie van de schorpioenvissen. Het is een rifbewoner met een lengte van ongeveer 42 centimeter.
De benaming koraalduivel klinkt heel onheilspellend, en inderdaad is het geen ongevaarlijke vis. Maar levensgevaarlijk kan hij niet genoemd worden. Als je als duiker de vis niet te dicht op zijn huid zit, zodat hij geen kant meer op kan, zal hij ook geen poging doen om zich met zijn giftige stekels te verweren. Doe je dat wel, dan loop je het risico om door één van zijn 18 giftige rugvinstekels te worden gestoken. En alhoewel dat niet direct dodelijk is, zul je het niet licht vergeten.
De rood, bruin of grijs grijs gekleurde vis verandert heel subtiel van kleur om zijn camouflage te verfijnen, en hij beweegt zo traag dat prooivissen, krabben of garnalen niet doorhebben welk gevaar ze lopen. Hij blijft op de loer liggen en drijft zijn prooi in een doodlopend stuk tussen het koraal tot hij toeslaat.
Het natuurlijke leefgebied loopt van Oost-Afrika via Indonesië en Japan tot Australië. Tegenwoordig is de vis ook voor de kust van Florida te vinden, waarschijnlijk door het vrijlaten van vissen uit aquaria. Overdag verschuilt de gewone koraalduivel zich in spleten, onder rotsen of bij koraalformaties.
Dodelijke slachtoffers zijn nooit gerapporteerd, maar de vis kan met zijn giftige stekels zeer pijnlijke steken uitdelen. De koraalduivel kan bij provocatie agressief reageren en moet dan ook voorzichtig worden benaderd.
De vis jaagt 's avonds op kleine vissen, mosselen, garnalen en krabben.
De koraalduivel probeert deze dan in een hoek te drijven door zijn vinnen uit te spreiden. Daarbij benadert hij zijn prooi uiterst langzaam en voorzichtig. Als deze zeer dichtbij is gekomen, klapt hij de vinnen terug en schiet razendsnel naar voren, om met vooruitgestoken bek de prooi op te happen.

The Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) The European seabass is a primarily ocean-going fish that sometimes enters brackish and fresh waters. It is also known as the sea dace.

My first bass of the season, caught off the rocks on a rapala mackeral plug, Falmouth Cornwall.
I took this photo with my Nikon D8ooE and the AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens.
The two sea fishing man were fishing on a very tiny rock in the sea. It looks very dangerous for me but I think it's a peace of cake for them.
Lost Village Of Wharram Percy set in the Yorkshire Wolds
The deserted village of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire has given today’s archaeologists more scope on medieval life in village and has also transformed our understanding of medieval image of DMV and how they worked in the landscape. Before we look at Wharram Percy in some detail it must be stressed that archaeological excavations of this type are rare for some reason and I for one can not see why more sites are not excavated since, we know that they are over 3000 medieval villages, how else are we going to understand the past if we protect every single site. However, as a landscape historian or archaeologists as I prefer, its only from documents that we are able to investigate the site drawing clues up from the past like Wharram Percy on how people lived and worked.
We know very little about people who lived their lives in the Middle Ages. The bulk of the population, the rural peasantry, were regarded as beneath serious scholarly consideration - perhaps even historically unreachable, the evidence of their lives being lost for good. Also interesting to note that the population at Wharram Percy shows people who were left handed 16 per cent, twice the modern world average. This was said to suggest a `natural' level of left-handedness in a society without social pressure to favour the right.
A study in 1997 indicated that Wharram's remote rural population might have eaten as much seafish as the citizens of York. The remains of abandon house plots and gardens and a full excavation St Martins church first recovery of a large medieval population from a cemetery fifty years ago, by Maurice Beresford and John Hurst. Numerous assumptions were nonetheless made about medieval rural life. Among them was the idea that village existence was relentlessly grim for most peasants lived out in meagre hovels at barely a subsistence level.
Another assumption was that the basic geography of rural England - a network of nucleated villages surrounded by open fields - had remained more or less fixed since early Anglo-Saxon times. New village foundations were rare, as were reorganisations and desertions. The one excavation that, above all others, transformed our understanding of this period was the work which began in 1950 at Wharram Percy, a deserted village. Wharram was then little more than a field of humps and bumps surrounding a decaying church in a remote valley about a mile from the nearest metalled road. Few scholars paid it any attention.
Medieval People at Wharram Percy were living a clean life style, as excavations showed some of the longhouses to be very clean in the inside. However, can we take this as the same for every medieval house? Why would people want to live in the dirt in their homes? I personally have noticed that some of the medieval lost villages seem to have a lot of rubbish left outside the homes. So These people where house proud. The excavations at Wharram Percy recovered numerous items of dress adornment - bronze buckles, strap ends and the like - and large numbers of coins. We learned, therefore, that the medieval countryside was not a subsistence economy but a monetary economy, in which the wealthier peasants had plenty of money to take to market to buy goods for the home.
Towards the end of the village's life in the early 16th century, houses had stone footings. Previously they were built of wood. The ephemeral nature of these timber remains, consisting of small post-holes and the delicate traces of wattle-and-daub walls, required an excavation record at an unprecedented level of detail. Every feature was mapped stone by stone, with the 3-D recording in situ of every find including pottery. Today this approach is commonplace; then it was new. Wharram's houses were cruck buildings. The walls were not structural supports, and replacement of wattle panels implies repair rather than rebuilding Wharram's timber houses, it seemed, were substantial and stood for two centuries or more.
The farmsteads at Wharram Percy dates towards the Saxon period when these farmers were settling down to farm the land and to breed animals for food and also to provide extra resources i.e. milk, hide and horn. Wharram became a nucleated `village' only around the time of the Norman Conquest, with two parallel rows of tofts and crofts flanking a street-green. During which time the village was replaned in the 13th century.
The earthworks had suggested a manorial compound at the north end of the village although, excavations revealed a second, abandoned 12th century manor house underneath a sequence of peasant houses - a complete surprise. The fourteenth century, when the population of the village decline after the Black Death, some properties were amalgamated, and a new type of courtyard farm was built alongside the older longhouses. The church of St Martins provided an opportunity not to missed by excavating the church itself, rare on any archaeological site due to many reasons, and mainly thanks to John Hurt and Maurice Beresford I have now good knowledge of what the church may have looked like and also provides me with some good evidence to say that churches in the landscape changed due to population increase. Well that's what I think.
A small timber Anglo-Saxon church (although we don't know that this was the case) was replaced in stone in the Norman period. It expanded with side aisles and a longer chancel in the 12th-13th centuries, and contracted again in the 15th century. More recently that interpretation has been replaced, or supplemented, by one based on changing liturgical requirements. Side aisles were built to accommodate newly fashionable privately endowed altars, while the extended chancel was needed for a more elaborate liturgy.
The churchyard was excavated something that I have always found interesting was the churchyard and its surrounding settlements. The churchyard at Wharram Percy had over 700 burials human remains one of the largest lay medieval skeleton assemblages available for study. Many of the findings have been unsurprising - fractures were not always well set, tooth decay was common, and so on - but other discoveries have been more intriguing.
Facts about the village
They was a Neolithic presents at Wharram Percy dating from 3,500 to 2,300 Bc. Neolithic man cleared away trees and cultivated the land as excavations shows hollows left by trees known in the trade as tree bowls The Bronze Age pottery was located on the site suggesting that the site settled by the people of this era Iron Age at Wharram dated from 700 BC to Ad 50 as two farmsteads established, with associated lines of small enclosures formed by boundary banks. Roman period at least five farmsteads in the neighbourhood by the middle of this period. Masonry reused in a corn drying kiln, tesserae and window glass found. Anglo Saxon and Vikings at least one farm survived the collapse of the Roman period. Two small huts built on the line of the main routway in the sixth century, and weapons of Scandinavian origin have been located on the site
No worries about social distancing when you’re fishing on the beach but John was tell me it’s very dependent on the tides. There is a point where the tides coming in when the waters deep enough to fish from the wall and the fish are biting.
Coronavirus - the way out of lockdown series
Sunday was the first day that the harbour wall was opened up for fishing since the lockdown. By 7am the wall was packed with fishermen virtually sitting on each others laps! No social distancing, no yellow guidelines, just a free for all.
Then I passed by the tackle shop just before 8am and the marina security guys were there assessing the situation with the queues out of this photo and around marina square. I'm not sure how they will fit on the wall!
Coronavirus - the way out of lockdown series
Now derelict, the old Seafish building stands on the bullnose at the entrance to St Andrew’s fish dock, Hull. It is 50 years since Hull’s trawlers plied their trade from this once thriving quayside. Thirteen years ago I took this photo from almost exactly the same spot when the building was still being used as offices by Sea the Fish Industry Authority.
