Lichen Covered Rocks

Lichen covered rocks at Ruddons Point.
At least three species of lichen growing on this small boulder. The yellow patches are yellow splash lichen - Xanthoria parietina. I think that the large grey patch at the front of the boulder is black shields - Lecanora atra and that the pale green tufted lichen is sea ivory -Ramelina silquosa.
