One of my favourite things to do at any beach is look for rockpools. This one, one of many at Rangiputa had lots of life in it. These limpits seem to have been attacked by birds by the look of it and after googling some more information about them I've learned that they are aquatic snails that are members of the Gastropoda family. Apparently they live on bits of algae and these ones are a species called Patella Vulgata.

Amazing...
Nice photo of the limpets. I used to really enjoy searching through rock pools (when I was Much younger) but I do remember those limpets being pretty rough on little bare feet!!
Interesting looking limpits. I thought they were barnacles at first.
Wonderful shots
Interesting. I thought they were some kind of barnacles.
Btw, that's a good picture.
Love rockpools. Always something interesting to see. Nice photo
That's a great photo. Rock pooling has always fascinated me, not that I ever knew the correct names of anything I found but just the joy of finding live creatures was enough.
Interesting post. You learned something and so did I :) Nice shot!
(O)
Fascinating creatures you find there no?
WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
Nature is amazing!
Interesting looking creatures that I have never seen before.
Quite an alien looking life form.
Rock pooling can be such fun.
I like your photograph.
All the best Jan
They are such fun to find. Your link is a great addition to the 'My Corner of the World' link up!
They need to find a safer spot Amy, they're quite vulnerable out there on the rocks ✨
