Flood deposits


shells

I spent 10 minutes or so fishing alonside a pile of debris that had been dumped by the flooded river avon. I had a poke about in it as the barbel weren't playing ball and found all sorts of things.

The most surprising find were loads of snail shells amongst the broken bits of wood and seeds. I thought they'd make an interesting shot and once i got the tripod level I got some nice macros to record the details in the deposits.

A pretty straighford shot really but just shows how much stuff our rivers transport around the place and then dump elsewhere to germinate. It also makes me think how many snails get washed into the sea......gutted!
