Whilst swimming in the sea at Deep Water Bay last weekend I witnessed the most bizarre thing.
A little fish swam right up to us and even allowed SnT to scoop it up in his hands for a closer look.
It was then we realised... IT HAD NO EYES.
Spooky


Back on the beach the a stench in the air of rotting fish prompted an investigation which revealed a whole load of washed up dead EYELESS fish !!


We were informed that the run off pipe further down the beach after the recent typhoon, had most probably flushed a load of fresh water - including fresh water fish - into the sea, which explained their death but not their state of eyelessness.
One recent proposal from the Leisure and cultural services dept was that birds have eaten them - um fussy eyeball orientated birds delicately plucking the eyes from tiny fresh water fish?? I think not.
The search continues.

Maybe its a early Halloween prank and sea creatures along the shore are sniggering at the confused gweilos??
