Crab

Had a wonderful day strolling along Christchurch bay in Mudeford in the beautiful sunshine.
We met a lovely family catching crabs with a line and bait dangled over the sea wall. They were having a competetion - girls vs boys, and mum and daughter were winning!
This is one of the biggest crabs they had caught and he was quite happy to pose for the camera. This seemed to be a popular pasttime, and by early afternoon there was a line of crab catchers all along the wall (the crabs are all put back into the sea).
