Apologies for the lack of comments... I've been away for the weekend and doubt I'll find much time to catch up!
This is a grey reef shark outside The Deep in Hull - what a fabulous place, run for conservation rather than profit. Today I visited The Deep, saw the sea for the first time in nearly 2 years and then joined The Shark Trust.
hmmm. I think I like the sharks better up on a block like this than in the water when I or children will be swimming. We've had more than usual number of shark attacks in the east cost of US this year. Or maybe they got more publicity.
@roachling only on my phone but flicked over to "the deep" page and see they have saw fish - we have some in Sydney aquarium - they are awesome. The Deep would be first on my list of things to see if I came your way - after Yorkshire area and Peak District for more personal reasons.
@annied yes, it's brilliant - it's about a three hour drive north east from me and it was my first visit there but I'll definitely go again... there are lots of photos of things I saw there on the blog link.
@gilbertwood I've always lived where I live and here in central England, I'm not far from the point where you are the furthest distance away from the coast possible in the UK... A trip to the sea has always been rare and exciting to me, and I often go long periods without seeing the sea!
