Bluebottles Balmoral Beach

Description and Comments

NE wind 15-25 km/hr
Bluebottles sighted in the water and on the beach at Balmoral. Watched two women in distress when they were stung. Stinger wrapped around one woman's body and arm with the blue bottle still attached. The other woman had the stinger wrapped around her neck and back.
These blue-bottles looked particularly nasty as they had a pink spine (for want of a better description)
