AUTUMNAL CLOVELLY


WARNING: another Clovelly post :)

Autumn in Clovelly is one of my favourite times of year and I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the village with family again during this week. Having never been fishing for herring before, or experienced small scale drift nets in use, it was time to get out on the water. I only took my iPhone for the herring as we left early in the morning and it was still dark, later that day we went out to collect lobster pots & I took my camera along then. Here are a mixture of iPhone shots & my camera from my time on the boat. The lobster with her eggs is known as a berried hen and was put back in the water in order to keep the cycle going of sustainable fishing in Clovelly, it was a truly lovely moment to photograph the marvellous creature before letting her slink away back to the safety of the ocean. Also, the cute little fish saying hello was caught in a pot and we put that one back too. All in all it was a lovely boaty trip, apart from the sea lumps known as waves I'm not used to, thank-you Stephen for putting up with me being a whimp :)
