An unexpected surprise this morning (11 July 2025), a beautiful octopus in the low intertidal zone. I only had a minute or two before it continued on, but it was a magical minute!
I managed a short video clip (see below, or click on the title of the post above to go to the NHBH web page to see the video player). The octopus is drawing water into its mantle cavity (where it will then pass over the gills) and expelling water through its siphon.
Many thanks to Eric for editing the video clip!
