Bruce the Shark

The day began with a trip to the beach.  Our first insight in to Arran's wildlife came when we spotted a variety of bird life including swallows, wood pigeons, robin,wren, linnets, cormorant, oyster catchers. Our artistic skills were put to the test with the task of creating a piece of beach art better than the last groups (this was not quite the task!-Lucy) resulting in the formation of Bruce the Shark.

Ninety minutes of our hard graft had disappeared by the time we came back from lunch but it was okay because we had plenty to occupy us with the prospect of a big beach clean, using ltter pickers, gloves, and the motivation of the game "who can find the most random piece of litter". The day was topped off with a nice walk down the beach hoping the rain would abate. We almost got a bit of sun at the end of the day! Which was very rewarding, combined with the 13 bin bags full of litter we had collectively accumulated.
