EDITORS COMMENTS

The print captures a fascinating glimpse into the mysterious world of the Lesser Spotted Dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) as it leaves behind its mermaid-like eggcase, known as a "Mermaids Purse". Washed up delicately on the sandy beach, this empty case tells an enchanting story of new life and survival in the vast Atlantic waters. As spring blooms along England's coast, these tiny spotted eggs hatch to unleash a wave of adorable baby dogfish into their marine habitat.

These small yet mighty creatures navigate through temperate European waters and play an essential role in maintaining balance within our aquatic ecosystems. As you stroll along Norfolk's picturesque coastline, keep your eyes peeled for more intriguing finds like these mermaid purses. Each discovery offers a window into the diverse array of marine life that calls these shores home.
