Seeing as I had rubbish and pellet collections from
both of the Keurbooms colonies, it seemed a good idea to do a collection on
Robberg at the Seagull Nursery island. I hadn’t made a trip to Robberg in quite
a while and so instead of organising a team to go and do a mass collection and
clean-up, Shane and I did a reconnaissance trip. I had forgotten how gruelling
the walk was, the huge thigh-burning steps down to the beach gap and then the
trudge up and around the island. There was a pocket of gulls that regularly
roost on the beach gap, but very few on the island. Between Shane and myself we
collected a small bag of pellets, plastics, bones and glass. That was perhaps
the most surprising, the glass shards. Many of the pellets had disintegrated in
the weather but the glass remained. Our trip was a wonderfully fresh change
from sorting out rubbish in the garage, but also rather successful!
