The beach looked good!
Report Details
The beach looked good! There were 6 people enjoying the sun, one dog, two dead birds (Northern Fulmar, Herring Gull), and a few mixed flocks of feeding shorebirds. The sand high on the beach was deep with the big logs partly covered while below the surfline it has been somewhat scoured out. There was one sack load of debris, mostly bottles (some with Chinese labels). But otherwise nothing of note.
