I have never seen a bubble snail (Aglaja ocelligera to be specific) before today. But I think I might have made up for a lifetime of living without while out at the -2.4 tide this afternoon at Golden Gardens. There were literally hundreds of them out there and globular white egg sacks all over the place.
And... as if that wasn't enough... I also had 3 greedy bickering seagulls drop one of the biggest gunnels I have ever seen in my life at my feet. A beach naturalist gift from the heavens if there ever was one!
What a fabulous sunny day full of tidepools, eelgrass and mud.
