European Cowrie from a #Shetland Rockpool today.

Most people know these as smooth shells, beach treasures, collected alongside sea glass. Alive, they are a voracious predatory Sea Snail hunting out Sea Squirts

A few non-UV illuminated finds from todays night time safari.

Cowries, fish and sea slug species are always a delight. Fish were particularly conspicuous in the torch light, with 20+ of 3 species seen.

1st shot is unedited & an example of the weird 😵‍💫 response of the camera 📷 when taking it beyond the depth rating of the housing 😇

The rest are random research & deco snaps whilst processing expedition image data 📈 🤓

#Ketanji Brown Jackson is my Profile photo. At the inauguration, she wore a #Cowrie necklace (= RBG) & earrings, likely in silent protest to the event & ensuing atrocities. Cowries represent many things - #protectionagainstevil, #women’spower, #currency Thank you - the 3 #SCOTUS women of #Integrity!

European Cowrie or Groatie Buckie in Shetland dialect. So much more interesting like this than the dead shells you might find on the beach!

A underwater photo of an 8mm long Arctic cowrie on the floor of a rock pool. In’s white shell has peach coloured groves running over its shell from side to side. A long pale and orange siphon protrudes from the front of its head and two pointed tentacles extend out in front of it.

I always thought of Cowries as being a type of gastropod found only in exotic places, not something to see on the uk shores.
Yesterday I was proved wrong by the tiny Artic cowrie - Trivia arctica. #coast #gastropod #cowrie #Somerset #Porlock #rockpools #ukwildlife
