Shell Shocked!

The rather strange sight of 1000's of shell fish stranded by the dropping water level at Rutland Water this evening.

Interesting, why would the water level be dropping so rapidly?

[JackieR]

I thought UK getting gallons of rain, where's it all gone from here?? Will the shellfish survive?? Like the low pov

[Richard Brown]

@365nick it's been dropping slowly over the last few weeks I guess the shell fish can only survive on the mud bank?

[Richard Brown]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond we've not had much in Rutland really. I've been told there an invasive species apparently!

[George]

A strange sight. Well captured.

[Corinne C]

So sad for the shell fish but a great shot!

[Elizabeth]

Interesting capture.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

What a unique image, thanks for sharing.

[LManning (Laura)]

It’s a captivating shot. They look like mussels - an invasive problem maybe?

[Jane Pittenger]

Chilling

[Milanie]

Oh my gracious - but do like the way you captured it

[RonM]

And a lot of hungry birds on the way.

[Walks @ 7]

Almost an alien landscape

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Denise Wood]

That's an amazing capture of all the shellfish - hope everyhing is ok.

[Rob Z]

I hope they are able to cope with the exposure. :)

I didn't think we'd had so little rain, feels like it's been raining all summer long
