    Hi all,

    Was out visiting yesterday, and came across a sight that has me, and anyone i'd asked about it, puzzled! The tide was as far out as i'd seen it on the swilly, it looked like it was almost possible to walk from inch to Rathmullan, and the i seen what looked like rows of lobster pots in the middle of the swilly on a sand bank, but they looked far far too big to be lobster pots and far too many of them anyone know what they could be :confused:

    Aye thought maybe that myself but never seen them that far up the swilly, see them up near portsalon but never that far down, the photo was taken at Ray outside Ramelton.

    They're oyster beds. Cultivated ones of course!
