Marine Scotland and other colleagues in Aberdeen are continuing with their fight with litter on the beach with our colleagues, Danny and Mike, going out on Monday for a spot of impromptu litter picking around the shore and embankment.

The eagle-eyed of you will spot the stats have leapt up. This follows Danny having a catch-up with RSPB staff on dolphin-watch duties who provided figures on their and the Council’s efforts around the Battery and the nearby embankment.

Stat’s for Monday and grand totals, including: volunteering effort from Inverdee House (20), us (17), RSPB (6) and the Council (8) :

• 4 full bin bags (84)
• 90 person minutes collecting effort (5,370 or 89.5 hrs)
• Total number of volunteers = 51
• Other – 2 traffic cones, 1 orange buoy and packaging for an air-rifle
