UK Diving » Norfolk in August Part 1 » Wildlife on the Vera - with new slug

Whilst much of the wildlife remains relatively constant on the wreck - the sea cushions the habitat from temperature changes - we do see new animals arrive and also notice some disappear. On this trip Dawn spotted some tiny Doto sea slugs which we hadn't seen before... conditions weren't ideal but she got evidence and will return (see the next Norfolk gallery!)
