Lichen on rocks at Glenelg.

Lichen are very colour conscious.

The rocks too like to sport the most fashionable of wigs. Suggested on i-Spot it may be an Enteromorpha alga, synonymous with the genus Ulva.

 A lonely Greater Sea Spurrey (Spergularia maritima) - an unconfirmed ID on iSpot.

Unconfirmed iSpot ID of red velvet mite (Genus Trombidium)  but this one seems to have 10 long appendages rather than the 8 displayed by those on the internet!
