More beach combing discoveries

Who says there's no sun in Denmark in the winter???

Well, maybe they're right but Dr Watson found a Sun Fish
on the beach that had washed up after a storm a couple of weeks ago.

In Danish they are called 'klumpfisk'.

WOW!!! We thought. They are rare in Danish waters. And smelly.
So we waited until it was time for Dr Watson's last walkies
and took a big black plastic sack with us.

It was a lovely moonlit night but I forgot the camera so you'll have to imagine
Jakob and Jake strolling along with the sack swinging between them on their
way back from the beach to our cottage
(a little like Winnie the Pooh and Piglet, perhaps, on an expedition). 

We hung the sack from a beam in the carport so the fox wouldn't get it.
Then next day, we put it in a box with lots of road salt and barricaded 
it under a table.
I then called the National Aquarium and another expert and
found out that

50!!! Ocean Sun Fish have washed up  

on Danish beaches over the past year. 
Probably because of global warming making the water warm up.
So they've let us keep our Sun Fish and we'll see if the salt stops it smelling.
If not 'the fox' might get it one night when they're not looking ;o)
