Desperately trying to get away from me

I have never seen a crab so far from the ocean, running sideways and keeping an eye on me.

This is a Fabulously clear shot of him. I like your tag.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Wonderful Diana , hope he will survive away from the ocean!

[Desi]

I wonder if it is a river crab that has been washed down in the floods. I have seen plenty of crabs in the little dams and rivers near Wolseley when we used to go camping there, so presumably they are plentiful in other rivers?

[Michelle]

He certainly has them big eyes on you

[Mags]

What a cute capture!

[Carole Sandford]

Superb capture.

[Babs]

Well spotted, love his eyes.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good catch! Little does he know you have no interest in being pinched by those claws!

[Rick]

Great shot. Surprising that it would be out of the water like that.

@seacreature Thanks for the info Desi, there is a river right behind Spier which has also burst it's banks. Hope he finds his way back ;-)
