Hello!
Woke up at 7.30a.m. to go to school for project work and in the end only spent 7 minutes there... kinda like a waste of time. Anyway, I called my parents and asked if they could pick me up and realised that they were going to Punggol Point to run. COOL!!! and the best part is, it was in the morning and no one was at teh beach so i probably had the whole coastline to myself and although i was not really equipted with my seashell bucket and stuff, still managed to get a pretty good haul... :D
reached there at about 10.15a.m. and the tide was receeding. My apologies for the lack of photos as I did not have a camera and my dad's handphone camera died somehow... but 祸兮福之所倚. i guess if i had brought that camera along i would not have enough hans to keep these shells. :)
Spent about an hour there but managed to get some pretty good shells. And the pater was clean today so i could see the bottom.
So here they are :) :
The few usual never fail to appear... Green mussels, blood cockles but surprisingly, managed to find cowrie shells among the rocks today... and of course, many others. 3 lineated nerites and alot of monodonts I think. There are also 2 land snail shells and a mangrove seed. :D haha, picked that up for fun...
Another photo just in case the previous one was not clear enough. :D
Haul of the day: Fig shell, Black-lipped conch/little bear conch and a marginella shell. Not to sure if the fig shell here is a common one and for the marginella, i could not find any species that looks exactly like it... did it arrive via the new reclaimed sand?
The mouth of each shell...
The fig Shell (ficus sp.), i am still unsure of the species... any help? :D
black lipped conch...
marginella...
Well, there are also many jingle shells and barnacles. Really impressed at what Punggol point has as looking from the situation at the beach, hmm... total opposite from places like cherating, cebu, sanibel etc. :)
