@DSM888 I thought it looked a bit like limekilns in Fife

[Dr Richard Kirby @PlanktonPundit]

Incredible biodiversity in my latest fine-net, autumn plankton sample. Tragically, however, there is now always microplastic pollution among the creatures that bring life to the sea and begin the marine food chain. @zeiss_micro

[Katy Firth @cookoo79]

Autumn arrived in #Orkney in style yesterday 🌊

There were fierce winds and ferry cancellations, but some fabulously stormy scenery to take in too 💙
