I had a good swim yesterday and had started a rubbish pickup when I spotted a wormy thing swimming in the water. This interrupted the rubbish walk so I went back to finish that today. In the meantime I looked up what this critter was and it's name is Eunice Aphroditois common name bobbit worm. This must have been a baby as they can get to 1 metre long. You would run the other way if it was that big. It has sharp mandibles for a nasty bite as well as lots of small fins called parapodia.

The rubbish pickup was straight forward with not a lot on offer except I found a thong in a bush and a poo bag thoughtfully wrapped and left on an obvious rock. I have another video from yesterday featuring the two rays.
