A selection of Limpet feeding trails.When the tide comes in Limpets beging feeding by scraping freshly grown algae off the rocks. They use a radula (a rasp-like tongue) which has up to a hundred tiny teeth made from one of the strongest natural substances we know of.

The scaffolders have gone. They never say when they are going. I assume they will be back tomorrow sometime.
The flooring chap has gone, and the wetroom bathroom suite has been delivered.
We'll go out in a bit to take out the bins at work and then we can relax until morning!
Normally I only see iridescence/nacre on limpet shells when I flip them over and look inside. These individuals live in an exposed spot and the outside of their shells have worn down to the point where you can see the blueish sheen showing through.
