A line of limpets.
A common sign on shore around the United Kingdom, the Limpet (Patella vulgate) has a conical shell with a famous blunt tip. A limpet makes shapes into a rock, known as a scar for when the tide retreats, allowing it to safely latch onto a rock. Limpets graze on algae, and living shells tend to be shorter in height and are found nearer the shore line. Amazingly the limpet can live up to 20 years by slowing down its growth rate! π #islandofsaintmary #stmarysisland #islandofsaintmary #amaturephotography #amature #amaturephotographer #wildlife #wildlifephotogrpahy #wildlifephotographer #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #cannon #cannon700d #cannonphotography #cannonphotographer #britishwildlife #limpets #ukcoastline #ukshoreline #coastline #shoreline #limpetshells #britishsummer #britishsun #britishheatwav
