Whelk city!

So I went shelling this afternoon.. it was a good few hours before low tide.. and the tide pools were PERFECT hunting grounds for whelks. There were lots and I made out like a bandit!

Hold this thing just right and you don't even know its broken! Ive never found one of these types of whelks before.. its pretty nifty

I found this big guy on my adventure.. he was pretty big.. a lot larger than a lot of the washed up jellyfish i see.
