After days and days and days of wind and rain, it was clear and still, so we headed out to Wester Ayre to see what the wind had left on the beach.
On the way we found the salmon cages, waiting to make feeding stations with the tubes. This is one of the ways old salmon cages can be recycled. Our polycrub is made of old salmon pipe. We walked around the cage balancing on the pipes.
All around were lots and lots of mussel shells, they had been growing on the bottom of the salmon cage. They attach to the ropes with their beards, that’s the threads that grow out of them.
There was lots of wrack blown up on the beach, we looked for shells and sea glass.
Walking back we went past the broch and stopped to clean our mucky wellies in the puddles!
