Half Way There!
Hiya! It's Dylan and Rhys and we're back to tell you about all the things we've been up to in the first 6 months of our Internship.
Well what a busy few months we have had.…
Reed warbler
Listen out for the 'chattering' song of the reed warbler, while wandering the UK's lowland wetlands in summer. A small, brown bird, they are quite hard to see.
Sea hare
The sea hare looks like a sea slug – but in fact has an internal shell. They can be up to 20cm long but are usually much shorter.

Our Leatherbacks/Crwbanod môr cefn-lledr ni
Every summer our seas welcome marine turtles which come in after their favourite food – jellyfish. We’ve had all but one of the seven marine turtle species appear in UK waters.
Shore rockling
These large rocky shore fish look like they belong in deeper waters, but they are the find of the day for any rockpooler!
Shanny
The shanny is a common sight in rockpools all around the UK. They are feisty little fish and have been known to bite when caught, so watch your fingers!
Lesser weever fish
One of the only venomous fish to be found in British waters, the lesser weever fish is certainly one to watch out for!
