A SMALL number of hardy people braved yesterday's downpour in search of ormers.

A depleted contingent of dedicated shoregatherers headed to Guernsey's coastline and returned with some reasonable catches for their efforts.

Despite their finds, some of those out yesterday reported a high number of smaller ormers and backed calls made earlier this year for a temporary ban to help maintain a healthy stock.

More people are expected out today and tomorrow to search for Guernsey's popular delicacy on what will be the lowest tides of the season at 0.5m.
