Bursting


We went to Ethel beach last night to watch Robber crabs releasing their eggs into the ocean. They are much more timid than red crabs so we had to be careful not to get too close and disturb them. They are also present in much fewer numbers because they don't all go at the same time. They release their eggs over a few nights during December, January and February.
