North Nottinghamshire is a rather poorly recorded area for molluscs. This field visit had been arranged to cover two habitats - ancient woodland and limestone grassland.

On the 4 June 2005, I found one small cuttle bone of Sepia elegans at Porth Daffarch on the south west coast of Anglesey.

Bound to leathery Sea Beet

Alive in a sandy wind

Blowing from the pensive waves?

Declaring, by rounded bunches
