Rare buoy barnacles on Texel island

This video is about buoy barnacles.

Usually, this species is rare in the Netherlands. It prefers warmer sea water. However, last week millions of them beached on Texel island.

This video is by Sytske Dijksen of Ecomare museum on Texel.

Wow! That’s really cool! Thank you so much for including my poem “Barnacle, Oh Barnacle!” I am truly honored. And I love that you found it and have your own little barnacle video! I wasn’t sure how a poem about barnacles would go over 🙂 Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! Maybe, the barnacles landed near Texel because the spring is warmer than usually.

You have to thank Zemanta too, I would not have found your poem without it 🙂
