This is by far the best time lapse video of limpets grazing at night that I’ve ever had the privilege of viewing. Top stuff. ps: My ancestors used to smuggle brandy into Kimmeridge Bay.

Just the encouragement I needed. I’ve given in my notice and taken out a second mortgage on the house to devote myself full-time to documenting the secret life of intertidal molluscs

If you need a research assistant let me know. I have a particular fondness for under boulder fauna diversity!

How much time was this footage filmed over? Just curious, I’m doing a report on the Owl Limpet.
