Goose Barnacles in a “high” surge channel

Surprise to find Pollicipes here

The surge channel (arrow) is relatively high and protected from the swells or wave action

Plus the colony (dotted square) is not very large nor ‘healthy’ looking. The highest one on the mound appeared injured (see video) Real Media (63K but poor quality images)

Feeding mechanism found without barnacle and see Avid video format (1743K) for location and close up
