Googled what Zan said and found this... Död mans hand (Alcyonium digitatum) foto) one of the few pix with no living matter, Arkive.org have some video of the living ones.

I wouldn't be too bothered about the result of one "off" pic. Just look at the strange expressions we humans can be caught with when taken unawares. It's the basis of many a "non" tabloid story! Keep posting ;)
Hi, i have being trying to find info on the devil's coach Horse beetle, i saw you write about them on one of these forums. I am from romford and where i work we seem to find them everywhere, last night i came accross 3. I have found out alot about them but just wondered if this is really common in romford as i have only ever seen them at work
thanks
Thanks for the friendship request Neil, I was about to send you one (honest!). It was great to meet you at Thursley, I'm sure we'll meet up at other WAB events in the future.
Right, I must get on with sorting out yesterday's photos!
Hi Neil, Thanks for that - sales have been going really well at Wicken and I hope to get there to re-stock over the BH weekend. They also had some of my stuff on display in the cafe prior to the recent re-painting.
Anyway, I hope you had a good day at Wicken - I haven't been able to get there for several weeks but I imagine the place is alive with Warblers and Cuckoos by now.
Thanks also for the 'friends' invite - much appreciated and accepted of course.
Let me know the next time you're coming up to Wicken and perhaps we could meet up.
All the best, Jeff
