My retirement project is helping keep the Firth of Clyde clean. The Clyde is a beautiful inland sea with porpoises, dolphins, seals, sometimes whales, and migratory seabirds like gannets #beachclean #FirthofClyde #CowalPeninsula #Argyll #Scotland

Largest buoy I've seen come ashore -- too big and heavy for me so contacted the Council. Not wanting it to get out into the shipping lanes or go on a wee wander around the globe 🌊
