I had three sea scorpions, one in the corner you mentioned, two a bit further towards the end. The butterfish was a bonus, only ever had one before.

Hi Phil, was just wondering as you have a Starry Smoothound there are they lumped as one species for this hunt or counted as separate for Common and Starry?

There are no hard and fast rules, only personal ones.
Since the consensus in the scientific community is that around the UK we have only one species of smoothhound, which may or may not have spots, then I choose to count all varieties of smoothhound as just one species. But that is just my choice.
