Litter picking on North-East Scotland beaches. Badger, herring gull, crow, dove and pigeon fancier.
Huge swathes of sea sandwort, coltsfoot leaves, dainty sea spurrey and incredibly hardy sea rocket. @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #ByTheSea

On the 3rd of July the older fledgling gull decided to leave home. Landed in the garden and spent the night sitting on a Japanese maple ornamental tree like it was a nest !
