Mōrena buzzy bees!

I've been off hunting beach treasures on some more remote beaches in the area. The amount of fishing and building waste is unreal! Mussle floats, buoys, treated timber posts and framing. A lot of plastic crab pot pieces and rope ends. We even found a piece of a pontoon which I'll be making into a new garden bed! We also saw a dead albatross, which was fascinating, but with the birdflu, we decided it was best to keep our distance.

Fellow dumpster divers and rubbish gremlins, what has been your favourite find?

Interesting, good job. Random thought: I wonder if a dog could be trained to help locate refuse in areas like this? But I suppose there is a risk that they could hurt themselves, picking up glass or a syringe etc.
