Collecting seaweed

Winter storms have deposited a huge mound of seaweed at one side of the beach, making it easy to collect it mechanically.  

Farmer took advantage of this and filled a few trailers full to spread on a field between Shian and Duill and the farm building. 

As you can imagine, with so much marine plastic washing up along the coast there is usually a lot of plastic in the seaweed, but this was remarkably clean considering. 

It will rot down over the next few months, and hopefully help the grass grow!
