It’s raining again! Let’s have a splash of bright cheerful colour.
The variety of colour in some of our common British seashells is amazing. I particularly love the Flat Periwinkle shells that can be any hue from white to brown and every shade between.

Hi Jessica, what’s the checkered one in the centre? RH

Hi. I think it’s a Grey Top Shell, Gibbula cineraria (Linnaeus). The white gastropod next to it is a very small European Sting Winkle, Ocenebra erinacea (Linnaeus); and below that the more pointed yellow shell with faint dark lines around the whorls is a Black-lined Periwinkle, Littorina nigrolineata Gray.

They may be common but they’re also gorgeous. Such a variety of warm colors, textures and subtle patterns.
