Our winter duties are quite different to the summer ones. Many of them have to do with stormy weather. We'd like to take you through two of our winter duties today.
We make regular patrols along the tide line to see if any fish are stranded after being thrown out of a stormy sea. Where possible we gather them up and return them to the sea so they live to swim another day. Sometimes when we're taking a close look at the fish for signs of life, as in our photo, we get a bit of a surprise when they give a flip of the tail and bonk us on the nose.
While we're out patrolling, we also keep a look out for any lobster pots which have come ashore in stormy weather, to see if they contain any stranded occupants. The lobster pots are easier to spot than a well camouflaged fish, however, returning the occupants to the sea isn't quite so easy. We have to keep well clear of those big claws. However, once the lobsters realise that we are working for the Lobster Liberation Front (LLF) they usually become quite calm and stop fighting us, realising we are there to help.
It's exciting and vital work and we enjoy doing it.
Lots of love, all at Bears Unlimited xxx
