Recently, goose barnacles were spotted attached to a log that had washed up on the shores of Portrush. These fascinating creatures, usually found clinging to rocks or ship hulls, made for a rare sight on land. It’s a unique reminder of the surprising treasures the sea can bring ashore.
The barnacles, with their distinctive appearance, add a touch of the wild to the otherwise calm coastal scene, sparking curiosity in those who happen upon them. For nature lovers and beachgoers alike, it’s a wonderful example of the ocean’s ability to surprise us with something new.
