Jelly Fish

On a recent walk at Evie beach, here in Orkney, we found a vast array of jelly fish washed up on the shore. These beautiful sea animals come in many different shapes and sizes and look stunning both in and out of the water. Sadly however they quickly begin to die if they are inadvertently caught in currents and washed up on the coastline. Some of the ones at Evie were still covered by water at low tide so hopefully might survive and be taken back out to sea. I’ve had a go at identifying the ones shown below - still not certain? There were many other colours and sizes but unfortunately I’d left my phone and camera behind.
