The beautiful pink and white bands of a Painted topshell make it easy to see where this little sea snail got its name!

The thick topshell is a common sight on rocky shores in Wales and South West England.

Also known as the flat topshell, these are one of the most common and colourful sea snails you are likely to see when out on a rockpool safari!

A well-travelled migrant, the painted lady arrives here every summer from Europe and Africa. This beautiful orange-and-black butterfly regularly visits gardens.

This slim fish is usually found on gravelly parts of the seabed, close to shore, but can turn up in rockpools.
