Oops, someone spilled the caviar! Lumpsucker eggs make a surprise appearance on Kimmeridge beach in Dorset

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this quirky snapshot captured by photographer Steve Trewhella, we witness an unusual sight that could easily be mistaken for a culinary mishap. The vibrant orange and yellow hues of countless lumpsucker eggs create a mesmerizing pattern along the sandy strandline of Kimmeridge beach. These tiny spheres, belonging to the peculiar Cyclopterus lumpus species, have been washed up by the Atlantic waves onto this picturesque stretch of England's coast. It seems as though Mother Nature has decided to play a prank by scattering her version of "beach caviar" across these shores. As spring arrives in full swing, so does the abundance of marine life along our seashores. These lumpsucker eggs are just one example of the fascinating wildlife found in our coastal waters. With their round shape and vibrant colors, they resemble miniature marbles or candies waiting to be collected. So next time you're strolling along Kimmeridge beach or any other British coastline during April, keep your eyes peeled for these unexpected treasures from under the sea. But remember, even though they might look tempting enough to eat like their luxurious counterparts from sturgeon roe farms around Europe – it's best to leave them be and let nature take its course.
