Starfish Graveyard

In a remarkable and slightly disturbing way some 10,000 dead starfish have been washed ashore by strong currents on Holkham Beach, Norfolk- a beach made famous in the closing scenes of the movie Shakespeare in Love.  The mass strandling has been put down to the pace at which the tide receeded. Starfish are abundant in the Atlantic Ocean and stradlings of this kind occur from time to time around Britain but we ask at this level? 10,000 or more? We also find the event timely and significant given the role of the ‘Star’ on the Scrabble board when Julia made the connection between The Haymakers Survey and the hidden meaning within.  Another warning from Mother Nature!
