Wildlife huddles down to beat the cold

[Little Sparrow]

Not just the Uk feeling the cold!

An inland waterway close to the Riviera Power Plant in Florida found itself hosting a large number of unusual guests in recent days, as temperatures fell close to freezing.

Nearly 400 manatees moved from the cooling coastal waters to enjoy the 33C (92F) temperatures being discharged from the plant. Giant eagle rays and spinner sharks were also spotted in another Florida canal.

I often wonder about the benefits of these power stations when we visit Cemlyn Bay on Anglesey which is right next to the huge Wylfa nuclear energy plant.......it must have some good effects as well as the bad.........there are certainly large numbers of Sand Eels in the area to sustain all the Terns and Dolphins that visit the bay!

A thought provoking link Judith.............as you can see by my witterings!! lol

I remember walking along the beach near to Sellafield and the Razor shells we found were huge,over almost a foot long some of them.......it's got to have some effect whether it's good or bad will remain to be seen I suppose!?!?!?

Blimey they are huge Razor Shells, Ruth! As you say time will tell with the effect the Power plant has.
