Photo of an open gate leading to East Beach on Vatersay in the Outer Hebrides.
Weathered gate ajar,
framed by dunes and endless sky,
pale beach waits beyond.

Many thanks to Clare who helped Steve this Sunday with the beach clean at Vatersay West. Only 12kg of marine plastic collected which is good as it shows that regualr cleanups are making a big difference to our environment.

The west beach on Vatersay. The image shows a grassy area in the lower half of the frame with a large pile of grey rounded stones on the left. Beyond the grass is a beach of white sand facing out to the blue sea on the right of the frame. There’s a low headland at the far end of the beach and dunes on the left. The sky is blue.
The west beach on Vatersay, which has been the most southerly inhabited island in the Western Isles since 1912, when Mingulay was abandoned. Since 1991 Vatersay has been connected by a causeway to the neighbouring island of Barra. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

In the foreground there is a clump of sea pinks on rocks. Sea in the background
Thrift, also commonly known as as sea pinks, are found all around the shores of Barra and Vatersay especially on rocky shores. They are flowering now and will go on flowering into July. They are important for providing nectar to a wide range of insects.

Just a reminder that there is littter picking equipment to borrow and bags in Bùth Bharraigh. So if you want to do a litter pick anytime and wish to borrow them just call in and ask.
