Robert's Ramblings

This week's photo, an Ornate Cowfish, was taken today at yet again my favourite shore dive, Edithburgh Jetty. Aracana ornata, inhabits shallow protected waters of the Eastern Indian Ocean including Australian waters from Western Australia to Western Victoria and Tasmania. When feeding, they often blow a jet of water out of their mouths into the sediment to uncover hidden prey.

Today I think we counted at leat 8 of these beautiful creatures ranging in size from 2cm through to 6cm. All appeared to be females which is hardly suprising as only during mating periods does one of the females change into a male...

From now on I've decided to post BIGGER photos! Partly to see if I actually get any comments from anyone and partly because I reckon they are not half bad! Please let me know what you think!

Until the next post, take care out there and keep diving ( if that's what you do! ) ...Robert
