 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): Lundy's jewel-anemone capital is located at the north end of Gannet's Bay on the eastern side of the island. The outside wall of the rock drops down to approximately 30m and you can work your way back up and around the rock, checking out the overhangs on route. There are carpets of both jewel anemones and the incredibly pretty yellow anemones littered across the walls. The latter are another example of larvae that hitched a lift on the Mediterranean current, and Lundy is about as far north as these delicate anemone colonies are found. The wall is also covered with radiant red fingers and their more common relative - dead men's fingers. All of the small cracks and crevices have been utilised by the crustacean populations with both edible and velvet swimming crabs, squat lobsters and shrimps peering out from the relative safety of their rocky homes.
