Very nice morning out at #BroughtyFerry #BeachClean.

The weather was nice, albeit quite a bit of wind. Bha e gaothach!

No interesting finds this time, but quite a bit of #PalmOil (or similar looking solids) collected.

What is that?

Picture of a shorline, a strip of sandy beach, some dunes and walkers, some with big white bags, are vidible. The water is grey and the sky is covered by some clouds. Far ahead on the horizon line we see some green hills and some houses (other side of the #RiverTay estuary)

When ‘palm oil’ washes ashore: Answers to a sticky question

They’re the pale, greasy lumps – like giant chunks of earwax – that wash up on our shore from time to time. Often described as 'palm oil', they sometimes prompt newspaper headlines and warnings to keep clear. But what exactly are these substances? The experts at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s Counter Pollution and Salvage team have the answers to your questions.

#BroughtyFerry #Dundee #RiverTay

Picture of a river landscape (River Tay), shot from one of its banks. On the left are a row of houses close to the water line (Broughty Ferry), the middle and right are dominated by a wide calm body of water. On the horizon, another river bank with woods and maybe low hills is visible (Tentsmuir). The picture is shot against the direction of the rising sun, with light orange tones at the horizon merging into light blue-greens toward the top. Some very light cloud cover.

I went down to the river.
It’s an estuary at this point. The rocks are covered in lichen and lovely cushion-y moss.

Green cushiony moss on rocks covered with white crust lichen. Grass leaves are in the foreground.

White lichen covered in white discs where the spores will be. The texture is lumpy, some of the adjacent yellow lichen is visible on the left side - the rock it is growing on is completely covered in lichen

Rocky outcrop covered in yellow & white lichen and cushions of green moss. The river and far shore are out of focus in the background.

A spiky grey lichen growing on rock with yellow and white flat lichen covering lots of it.
I only saw the very thin clear discarded fishing line when checking the photo afterwards, I am annoyed as I didn’t see it at the time to pick it up to stop it harming wildlife, the tide is in the way in, so I will have to go back later. — A spiky grey lichen growing on rock with yellow and white flat lichen covering lots of it.

Screenshot from the Tay Bridge website saying pretty much what the post says: the Tay Road Bridge is closed for any kind of traffic (last update 17:30)
