Great photo. These shells look particularly good if you 'click to enlarge'.

Well done for spotting the deliberate mistake - well, everyone knows what a cockle looks like!

I am concerned about the amount of people collecting the pipe fish will they disppear like the cockles, walking along the beach the other day there were at least 50 chinese and 1 welsh man who we talked to,(he also remarked on the fact that the clockles are no longer on the beach),working in groups along the shoreline using especially adapted items to shoot salt into the pipe fishes hole. It appears that they were working in an industrious manner..........
