Marine Life - The Limpet

First seen on Tuesday 18th May 2021 at Holy Island

You can't go to the seashore without seeing Limpets on the rocks. They feed on the seaweed and algae, but when the tide goes out, they stay firmly anchored to the rock. Apparently, after they've grazed for food, they always return to anchor to the same spot.
