Shell Suite

More random shots from Cornwall - this time a few bits from the beach and dunes. Again these were taken with the new versatile Lumix - telephoto shots one minute, macro shots the next.

The marram grass dunes were littered with thousands of tiny snail shells - some typically rounded and lots that were conical shaped. All appeared to be empty, and most were bleached white. No idea what species they are.

The beach had some really great tidal pools, and the undercliff was littered with small caves. Loads of common tidal molluscs, barnacles and anemones ..
