Young male sea lion resting against driftwood on a sandy beach

Sandy beach with stones and fish bones visible in the sand

Green tray with stones and fish bones cleaned and sorted out. A ruler and label is placed on the tray next to the sample

Another #weeklyvomit from pakake 🦭

Found close to this wee male on a sunny Ōtepoti beach - and full of kahawai!

Check out how far the stones/gastroliths were spread. Must have been quite a spew 😳

Wrapped up a year-long field season yesterday and already feeling nostalgic!

So have decided to overdose my bsky in the coming months with a #weeklyvomit from pakake/NZ sea lions 🦭

This one features a prime example of Jack Mackerel 🐟
