Storm Kathleen was making her presence felt with strong winds blasting across Cardiff Bay this morning but, luckily, it wasn’t cold, and was mostly dry. When scanning for birds near the Barrage sluices, I noticed this dead fish – I’m not sure of the species, though perhaps one of you might know.

As you can see from the photos below, nets have been strung around the edges of the sluices, perhaps to prevent people from jumping and maybe to stop them throwing things in to the water as well. However, as the tidal range in the Bristol Channel is the second highest in the world, during the highest tides fish sometimes get caught in this netting.
