Silverknowes

Can this really be Edinburgh?
The beach at Silverknowes at 5pm today and yes, those really are people in swimming!
I did my bit for the wildlife of the Forth by walking the I/4 mile or so out across the sands at low tide, and then back again , to retrieve a large helium balloon which we had watched come down. Everybody seemed to be ignoring it, but particularly after enjoying watching the seals and dolphins out there recently I didn't like to think of them becoming entangled in the foil and string, or even eating it. It's in the bin!
