Not completely sure about this one which was observed at extreme low tide under a rock. It measured only about 10-12mm in length, so if it is P. imperialis, its only a baby. All other ones I’ve ever seen have been at least 40mm+
Some relatively large ones being predated from the beds near a small stream. There were holes where people had clearly been digging illegally, and also ones like those shown in the first two photos which I think are predated by 2 species of oystercatchers (last photo)
