The cuttlefish eggs have been brought to Dingle Oceanworld, where marine biologist Kevin Flannery expects them to hatch. The type of cuttlefish eggs turning up is not found further north of the Channel and is mainly in the Mediterranean. The grape-like formations of the cuttlefish eggs were spotted by pot fisherman John Ball off Turk Head and he alerted the aquarium in Dingle. Mr Griffin managed to capture a live octopus and has presented it to Mr Flannery and Oceanworld, where it has gone on view. Mr Flannery said "the colossal change" this June should be treated with the same urgency as weather events like storms.
