Finding fossils and crystals

I love going along the Undercliff Walk to the beaches at Ovingdean. When it is high tide I look for fossils and crystals among the pebbles. 

Interesting things washed up

I also like looking for little pieces of glass that have been worn smooth by the sea. I find flat stones and try to skim them on the sea. Sometimes I find Cuttlefish bones for my budgies. It is interesting looking through the things that have been washed up on the shore.

Message in a bottle

Once I found a bottle that had a message in it. It was from a child who had put it in the sea when they were on holiday in the Scilly Isles. My favourite time is at low tide when I can explore the rock pools. I like examining the different sea creatures and I loved it when I found a starfish.
