Low Spring Tide

And now the rock pools











This Dog Whelk was on a mission.



Peacock Worm Tubes, when the tide is in they have arms that filter the plankton.



Limpets return to the same place before the tide goes out.

 

Stunning!

(But it certainly isn't Spring: brrr!)

 

what a fascinating shoreline escapade this evening,
thank you for sharing with us. Never knew that limpets went back and forth like that. Bit like regular City commuters.... Do they ever squabble over whose place it is?

Lovely pics! No stone balancing out there today?

 

They do fight for the best spot, they can flip each other over

Same beach at High tide....

It's a Snakelocks Anenome, Anemonia viridis.

 

I've been there at low tide, must have been only a few metres from where that youtube clip was taken.

 

Yep, I took it from the steps just below where you were standing
