  Just for once a cheerful, non-political topic.
  
  The Short-snounted seahorse has just been filmed off the Shakespeare Cliffe area for the first time by Kent Wildlife Trust. This little 3 inch chap has not been filmed in it's natural environment before. They are only normally found around the Canary Islands or in the Med.

  i am sure that this was in one of our local rags a few weeks ago.
  
  suddenly the outside media are latching onto it.
  
  looks like he could be a libdem though.

  I bet the aligator ate all the seahorses.
  
  But seriously there was some talk recently on tv that we will find more and more unusual species in our seas in the years to come and thats because the sea is actually warming up. It is part of the global warming phenomenon. Although dip your toe in the water today and it most certainly wont feel very warm, but you know what I mean...
  
  There was even talk that an occasional shark might be found lurking in the depths..now wouldnt that be really interesting....would bring a whole new meaning to safe beaches!
  
  In the meantime the little seahorse is a very welcome visitor.
