A busy morning this Friday, with a family bringing some bones to identify from Laggan Point, and having a look at some of the beasties caught during yesterday's pond dipping.
 |
| Water-boatmen found in the pond at Bruichladdich. |
 |
| Water fleas (daphnia) also found when pond dipping. Can you see the tiny dots? That's them! |
 |
| Two sections of the lower jaw of a seal found at Laggan Point. |
The bone above the jaw bones in the picture was also found here, and appears to have the structure of the last vertebrae (sacrum) of a small cetacean, such as a bottle nose dolphin or porpoise which are often seen around Islay. Any other suggestions as to what this could be are very welcome!
