The images featured above are of the species when the zooids are dormant i.e. photographed late in the year. Species found in shallow water with fluctuating salinity on submerged roots and stems of the Common Reed, Phragmites australis in the lake at Swanpool, Falmouth, Cornwall, 04.11.20.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
