Re: Specimen Painted Ray - 11th February 2011
Thanks guys,
Thanks Stan, yes they seem to be much more prevalent this season, there seems to have been quite a few caught of the West Waterford/East Cork beaches over the last few months.Stan wrote:Lovely painted ray. Got one on that same beach myself in December. Great to see so many of them making an appearance.
