Whilst walking on the beach on this side of the North Sea this
afternoon, I found that the recent storm had washed up a thing like a
lobster pot, but without a bottom. I don't think it had ever had a
bottom, as it was in good nick.
Since the nearest place where there are lobsters is probably France or
UK, I don't think it was a lobster pot. What else could it have been.
some sort of trap?

Did it have a tunnel entry? Or any entry?

If not, could it have been a bird or a cat cage?

yes a black plastic inverted truncated cone. The rest appeared to be
made of bent willow(?) and nylon rope. it looked exactly like a
lobster pot other than that it had no base.
