Details: I was hoping blairgowrie would be crawling with nudi’s but i was a bit dissappointed. I saw a fair few species, but nothing special apart from a fairly generic orange slug, that i’m not sure if i’ve seen before or not. Lots of vercos, tambja sp’s, mating hedgpethis and flabellinas. Also a nicely positioned seahorse that didn’t fit into my macro lens. A ring-backed pipehorse with a strange red sack near its mouth, pygmy squid, a blue-ringed octopus and the occassional stinkfish.
Camera Details: Canon 100mm , dual SS200 strobes
