If you are intrigued by their name then check out this post on my Portuguese blog which has a small orchestra of them. It is very odd, but also romantic so perfect for this Valentines eve.

I love fiddler crabs. I’ve tried taking photos of them with my phone but you can hardly see them against the sand. This is a magnificent photo, Becky.

Yes not easy without zoom as they tend to be very cautious.

I know, so odd just to have the one big claw – and in late spring/summer they are dark purple which makes them look even stranger!

Humph. After being dry for weeks and weeks, we started a week of heavy rain, just as the grandchildren arrived …
