Day 224, of my 2016 sketch a day challenge

Brown-Lipped Snail

The Brown-Lipped Snail (Cepaea nemoralis) is very common throughout most of the UK. They are gastropods (stomach feet) but actually the stomach is inside the shell. The colouring of the bands can vary from pale yellow to brown but it is identifiable by the bark band around the shell opening. Also they are hermaphrodites being neither male or female. These I found on Kessingland beach.
