Living World - Winter Seashore
Trai Anfield discovers the wildlife that survives the harsh conditions on the wintry beach and rocky shores of Devon.
Trai Anfield visits a wintry Bovisand Bay in South Devon in the company of Keith Hiscock, Associate Fellow of the Marine Biological Association.
They rummage amongst the storm strewn seaweed making up the strand line at the top of the beach. It is here that insects and crustaceans flourish in the food rich and clement micro world, in turn drawing in birds like wagtails and turn stones.
Down in the inter-tidal zone, along with finding a host of marine molluscs are the excitingly named volcano barnacles and beautifully coloured beadlet anenomies.
Produced by Sarah Pitt.
First broadcast on Sunday 8 February, 2015.
