Prints of Children on the beach at Norfolk collecting crabs.
Fish and chips or a picnic is always the order of the day followed by ice creams on our way back to the car. If we go to Amble then the ice creams must be from no other than Spurreli
A perfect match for this print would be that of Ewan’s sister who is collecting shells in her green bucket.
Looking for Crabs
Whilst looking for crabs often we find on the strandline are already dead or are the moulted shells discarded by growing crabs. Moulted shells are generally lighter than actual crabs but otherwise appear almost identical.
Sometimes, we find only pincers, legs or the top part of the crab’s carapace (shell). See our gallery below for help with the identification of these separate bits and pieces.
These are the main crabs you are likely to find on the beaches of Britain.
