WILD WEDNESDAY: Did you know that you can see amazing rockpool beasties like this right here in Aberdeen?

This is a nudibranch, more specifically we think it's a four-lined polycera. As you can tell from the fingers in this photo, this is a tiiiiiiny wee sea slug. They can be tricky to see initially but once you get your eye in and know what you're looking for, their white and yellow bodies make them easier to see. They can be found in the big rockpools in Greyhope Bay actual.

If you need a hand finding incredible rockpool creatures and want to learn more, join us for a rockpooling session. Our next one is Sunday 27th September, 8:30. Book your free spaces here (be quick, these book up fast!): https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/morning-rockpooling-for-adults-tickets-1985158223686

Hey, you, are you mindlessly scrolling? May we suggest planning a rockpooling trip & getting to know some of Aberdeen's amazing rockpool creatures?

A lot of people who come to our rockpooling sessions have never been, or haven't been for a long time. Here are a few tips to help you explore your local rockpools more confidently:
- Always wear sturdy shoes, dress appropriately for the weather & move carefully.
- Check the tide times & heights before you head out to make sure rockpools are uncovered, and keep an eye on the tide if it's on it's way back in.
- Take a guidebook, or borrow our coastal discovery guidebook, to help you identify species.
- If you aren't sure what you've found, take photos or make sketches so you can look up your finds when you get home.
- Be very careful if you decide to handle anything and make sure you return things to the spot you found them.
- Don't forget lights if you're heading out in the evening. If you go out at night, take a UV light to see if you can find any species that glow!

Keep an eye on our social media and greyhopebay.com/event to find out when our next rockpooling session is.
