Bit stuck today...light failing with no photo.

We don't get too much litter in Orkney, but that means what we do get sticks out. These trolleys are in the Peedie Sea, a tidal inlet in front of three supermarkets. I suppose they'll all say the trolleys belong to the others but they should just haul them out anyway. I'd do it if I had waders.

Then again, I remember something about an urban stream down south which had a rare species of freshwater shrimp (I think). The stream was cleaned up for their benefit and several trolleys removed. Most of the shrimp were then eaten by predators that had previously been unable to get at them as they sheltered within the safety of the trolley mesh.
