There was an area of sand near the tideline on Pobbles beach this morning with lots of these small lumps. They turned out to be air bubbles: when I pressed them I could move the air around underneath like pressing a blister. And when I punctured one, it deflated.
I've never seen anything like these sand bubbles before - and I'm an oceanographer! (That is to say, I have a piece of paper saying I have a degree in oceanography; if it weren't for that I wouldn't believe it myself. I find it hard to imagine I ever knew enough to achieve that qualification.)
Husband doesn't believe me - about the sand lumps being full of air, not about me having a degree although that is even more unlikely - but it's perfectly true.
Any ideas?

Now I've learned something new about you...or are you pulling our leg?
Wow, I'm very impressed. Did you ever work in this field?
Lugworms possibly.
Ragworm?
