EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Steve Trewhella, we are transported to the mesmerizing shores of Charmouth Beach in Lyme Regis, Dorset. Brace yourself for an extraordinary sight as these tiny tunneling experts known as Piddocks (Pholadidae sp. ) take center stage! March marks a time when these mischievous marine mollusks emerge from their secret hideouts and bore into soft stones with unmatched precision. With their angelic wings and determined spirit, they transform ordinary rocks into intricate passageways that would make any architect envious. As the Atlantic tide gently caresses the coastal surface, it exposes these remarkable creatures and their handiwork to curious onlookers. It's like stumbling upon a hidden underground city created by nature itself! These bivalve beauties have mastered the art of burrowing, leaving behind a trail of holes and shells that dot the shoreline like precious jewels. This enchanting scene reminds us of how diverse our planet truly is. From exposed rock formations to temperate waters teeming with life, England's coastlines never cease to amaze. So next time you find yourself strolling along Charmouth Beach during low tide or exploring its rocky wonders during springtime, keep an eye out for these fascinating piddocks – they're sure to leave you shell-shocked!
