Shelling on Fort Myers Beach - the shells came to us! Apple Murex, Olives, Tons of Angel Wings!

so on this particular evening my husband and i thought we would just go for a walk at the beach kind of see what was going on we have some kite surfers there in the background and in about five seconds we found this so if the shells are gonna come to us well i guess i'm gonna bring a video to you welcome to another swf beach life video if you like the beach and things beach related i do recommend you hit that subscribe button and the notification bell because i bring you a new video every single week so yep guys we were there for all of about five seconds we found all those fabulous shells so we decided all right if the shelves are gonna come off come to us we're gonna go shelling we have a kitten's paw and we have this lovely scallop and look at this we found a whole pile of stuff here we have an olive and that looked like a little lightning whelk and what else we got we have another olive broken tool up guys this is at like six o'clock in the evening these shells were sitting here all day that's an apple murex i that part really there's a moon snail that part really uh i thought was amazing that these literally were sitting here all day long just kind of waiting for us that is a juvenile florida fighting conch looks like we have a little piece of coral what else we got oh a little baby lightning well put pretty colors on that guy and there we have some sort of worms now and that coquina kind of hard to see but he was real pretty bright orange color looks like we have an auger and what do we got here i don't know what that is no clue it's a little guy it's kind of swirly and here we have another lightning well those are going to come in handy i'm going to tell you about that toward the end of the video why all those little lightning wilks are gonna do me and someone else a little bit of a favor there's another one little guy great color you know what do we got here muir x looks like yep there's another apple murex and another lightning well a little guy but that's all right all right this i've had other people tell me it was a drill i really think it is a ribbed cantharis again i'm welcome any other kind of feedback i can get it's a pretty tangerine scallop that's not an actual name of it just a scallop but i like the color tangerine so this is what we came for and we ended up with all those shells it's a nice time i don't normally make videos toward the end of the day so this is kind of nice to bring you guys something a little bit different wasn't quite so hot and the shelves were just waiting for us to come which was also very nice here we have a juvenile florida fighting conk a little bit windy out we have another apple that was fun one of the first ones we found we got on the beach was a lace mirror that's also very fun look at this guy now i know it's really purple because it was it's been in the water but oh very pretty you have another calico scallop and this i thought it might be a kitten's paw but i think that's just some sort of little oyster kind of neat that's a calico clam looks like we got another little lightning milk he's a little faded but he's in great shape a little moon snail cool and another calico scallop love those guys all right so this not from a flamingo this is from a rosette spoonbill this footage was taken one morning as i was going for a walk i figured i want to show you guys that is what a rosette spoonbill looks like they are neat they're pink now because of the food that they eat they have that funny looking beak i just think they're kind of neat so i wanted to share that here we have a jewel a spiny jewel box i like them when they're all spiky and spiny oh there's another shark eye that looks oh that's fabulous i love those guys you got another scallop kind of pretty and another spiny jewel box and another spiny jewel box this one's got a little bit of a pinkish hue to it now guys soon it has now reached the angel wing part of the video these guys they were everywhere i must have picked i don't know we'll see that was one two this looks like number three just sitting there on the beach kind of neat look here's four probably a lose count at some point and again i believe these are all angel wings and not false angel wings which are a little bit flatter toward the end this these all seem to have those ridges on them and there's another one i'm not going to pick it up i can tell that it's broken and yet another one isn't that funny you come across a patch and you just keep finding the same shell and here okay so this i actually thought this little guy was dead a little hermit crab and then i waited and i saw a little movement so he's alive he was moving a little slow so i figured i'd kind of get him back to the water he was pretty far up on the beach so just in case that helps them out we'll put a little bit of water there's yet another angel wing and another and again those are bro i can tell they're broken so i'm just gonna leave them looks like we have a juvenile fighting and a disc docina looks like somebody drilled a hole in that guy and another angel wing literally just everywhere okay this is called technically it's called sea pork i like to call it beach brains because it just looks like this i don't know brainy gobby looking stuff it is an organism it does filter water so when i can i just like to kind of get them back to where they should be there's another spiny jewel box and this little coquina i really like the coloring on that guy the stripes i thought that was neat and this guy this little critter he's fishing now speaking of critters we saw a little commotion and this family had stumbled across upon this giant lightning well um the issue i don't know if you heard what the little kid said i really he wanted to keep it so we kind of explained this is a live animal you can't keep it you're gonna have to put him back but i did give him a lightning well shell one of those little ones i found earlier in the video so i was hoping that would pass by him at least he would have a little treasure to bring home and this guy could safely be put back where he came from so now we're heading at this point back up north way out in the distance you can see the pier on fort myers beach and this i thought i was really kind of hoping this would be a snail like okay cool what is this guy doing so i get down there i'm kind of looking he's clearly moving around he's all right water the sand is pretty moist i kind of took a closer look and said hey that's not a snail again a little little hermit crab take a little bit closer look yep you believe that for him it's like this giant shell he's lugging around but it's a little hermit crab oh pretty this pale pink scallop and this this is a little different yep it is a sand dollar and it's broken but it's alive so i don't know that i've ever seen one miss you know a live one missing so much but he seemed to be you know alive he was still moving around so make sure just kind of find him a spot put him back let him do his thing so this is what the beach looks like in the evening i don't normally bring you here this time of day so just wanted to give you a little preview it is kind of pretty and i don't know maybe i'll make a habit of coming back here a little more often so on our beach walk these are all the goodies we got didn't even mean to do it yet we were so fortunate a bunch of those murax some of those uh moon snails all that lace mirrors that was really fun and some olives the lightning whelks some coral the scallops of course gotta talk about the scallops and the angel wings and it just again didn't mean to do it and just ended up with all these goodies so as always feeling super grateful and really happy that i'm able to share with you so if you like my video i am going to ask you again to please subscribe because i do bring you beachy goodness every week thanks so much for watching and see you again soon
