It was nice to have the Autumn Watch film crew with us last week with presenter Martin Hughes-Games. We were very lucky to have a berried hen (an egg bearing female lobster) delivered to us the week before, probably the last for the season so we had a beautiful mother lobster to show for Friday’s Autumn Watch.
It really is a wonder of nature when you turn a lobster over to see 3,000 to 20,000 eggs attached to her pleopods. I think really, they should come back with Spring Watch when the hatchery is a hive of activity.
We gave Martin one of our Santa CLAWS fluffy lobster to hold for the photo that are now available on our on-line shop with their very own handmade Santa hat’s. http://www.nationallobsterhatchery.co.uk/shop/
